“A federal probe into hush money payments made to protect Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign has concluded, according to a judge’s order released Wednesday.
At issue is an investigation led by the Southern District of New York connected to Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer to Trump who is serving a three-year prison term in part for breaking campaign finance law. Trump himself was implicated in Cohen’s crimes, which involved hush money payments to women that federal prosecutors have said were designed to sway the presidential election.”
“Jay Sekulow, a personal attorney for the president, welcomed the news. ‘We are pleased that the investigation surrounding these ridiculous campaign finance allegations is now closed,’ he said in a text message. ‘We have maintained from the outset that the President never engaged in any campaign finance violation…Another case is closed.’”
