TL;DR FEC Data proves Trump laundered money to pay off Stormy Daniels. The odds it's a coincidence are 8,000,000 to 1.

    [1] Campaign finance law, from the FEC: > Using campaign funds for personal use is prohibited. > Commission regulations provide a test, called the “irrespective test,” to differentiate legitimate campaign and officeholder expenses from personal expenses. Under the “irrespective test,” personal use is any use of funds in a campaign account of a candidate (or former candidate) to fulfill a commitment, obligation or expense of any person that would exist irrespective of the candidate’s campaign or responsibilities as a federal officeholder. > More simply, if the expense would exist even in the absence of the candidacy or even if the officeholder were not in office, then the personal use ban applies.
