President Donald Trump on Thursday doubled down on past defenses that he did not violate campaign finance laws, rejecting testimony from his former lawyer Michael Cohen, who said the president reimbursed him for an illegal hush-money payment.
"It was not a campaign contribution, and there were no violations of the campaign finance laws by me. Fake News!" Trump tweeted.Cohen, the president's longtime fixer, testified last week before the House Oversight Committee on Capitol Hill, where he spoke about illegal hush-money payments that he had arranged. Cohen also claimed that Trump repaid him for a payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who claims to have had an affair with the president.
The president's former lawyer also testified behind closed doors before other committees across two days last week. He offered additional testimony to Congress on Wednesday, once again in a closed hearing. Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison last December for tax fraud, lying to Congress and campaign-finance violations connected to the hush-money payments and is scheduled to report to prison May 6.

Hans von Spakovsky is an authority on Campaign Finance law. 'It's called the Federal Election Campaign Act and it governs the raising of money and the spending of money for all federal campaigns. The Democrats have nothing on the President.

Pretty much by definition he did violate those laws. There isn't much of a wiggle room here.
