“Those who do not view armed self defense as a basic human right, ignore the mass graves of those who died on their knees at the hands of tyrants.”
Years ago the Feds looked at this and decided there was no violation of federal campaign law to prosecute. Private funds used to settle a nuisance claim... yawn. Manhattan DA lacks both jurisdiction and a crime to prosecute. That said, I agree with others that even the most baseless and convoluted prosecution is likely to result in a conviction in NY if the defendant's name is Trump.

The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.
I don't think whatever the Manhattan DA is plotting relates to campaign finance laws, but I'm not sure. My comment was referring to John Edwards' scandal and alleged campaign finance law violations:

The only speculation on charges that I have read revolve around the payment. A violation of federal campaign law (already discussed). The other is how the repayment to Cohen was made on Trump's company books as a legal expense. A New York DA would seem to have no jurisdiction over federal campaigns. On the other hand, how a New York business operates it's books would seem more within the DA's jurisdiction now matter how convoluted or thin the charges. I guess we'll soon find out.

Looks like that is technically correct and my info was outdated.

However, between that and this, it looks like abuses that don't get prosecuted are fairly common:

Past history (2010 article and discussion of rules much older than that):

So yeah, it looks like it's "illegal" to use campaign funds for other purposes, but it also looks like there are some loopholes and some abuses that don't get prosecuted.
Cohen (attorney) paid Daniels. Trump's company paid back Cohen. No campaign funds were used.
