felony charges against individual 1. in regard to those crimes, or indeed the question of whether they might already have brought felony charges against individual 1, aka president trump in some sort of sealed indictment that we the public have not yet seen. in that campaign finance felony scheme, it is not just the president who was personally implicated as the person directing the scheme. the president s business, the trump organization also appears to be implicated in that felony. in those felonies i should say. among other things, they falsely described those hush money payments in the trump organization s own books as tax services or a legal retainer. prosecutors explicitly say that those descriptions in trump organization records are false. they explicitly describe the trump organization sort of cooking their own books that way, using their own business records to disguise the true
