It sounds more like Trump put up the bond with cash but the ability to later swap the cash out for other securities. The AG wants to make sure that it stays only cash.

If Trump delays this bond payment again by several weeks the judge is going to count to 3. You don't want to see what happens when they get to 10

This email is regarding: (my kid)

(School District) was notified this morning that US Senator Ron Johnson will not be visiting (our town) on Tuesday, April 23rd, as was previously shared in the Parent Update. Senator Johnson was called back to Washington, DC for Tuesday.

The payment itself was perfectly legal.

The crime is falsifying business records to cover up the payment. That is a misdemeanor in New York.

However, since the falsification of business records was done to cover up a different crime (the fact that the payment constituted a campaign contribution in excess of statutory limits under state and federal campaign financing laws), that elevates it from a misdemeanor to a felony.

The fact that he lied, shuffled his books to hide it, and used media contacts to bury the stories on things that were harmful to him.

Paying hush money is not illegal. The way he classified the payments on documents is.

It was illegal because it was election related is my understanding. If he’d paid her off to avoid tabloid publicity— no crime

The payment itself was legal.

He's in trouble for cooking the books to hide the payment so it wouldn't be discovered and possibly hurt him in the election.

At this point, Trump knows his only hope is to win the election and make this all go away. Everything done at every opportunity is just trying to maintain his image.
