    I thought this was about the old failure to disclose cases that Cohen took the fall for, but has recently come back to haunt’s trump in the form of the current New York hush money case.

    This article is about a different failure to disclose - to pay his current legal bills.

    If he gets charged for failure to disclose the source of payments to legal staff who possibly helped him with his first failure to disclose case, my internal monologue is going to laugh for at least 4 solid seconds.

      A complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission alleges Donald Trump’s 2024 White House campaign and its related political committees engaged in a scheme to conceal who is being paid for much of the former president’s legal work in a possible violation of federal law.

      Legal payments as in payments to lawyers not legal payments as in payments in accordance with the law.

        The breadth of the English language is proving insufficient to adequately describe the heterogeneity of Trump’s crimes.
