michael cohen wired $130,000 to stormy daniels's lawyer. that payment was to hide damaging information from the voting public. the scheme violated new york election law. >> election law, and possibly tax law, more than one law, which is basically why the d.a. is saying this becoming a cover-up felony rather than just a misdemeanor. and that means prosecutors will have to prove more than just the underlying business fraud. they'll have to prove that he intended to conceal another crime. that is what will make it the felony. and without a felony, you wouldn't even have this trial. you would have something to a business parking ticket type situation. bragg said he could use tax law and penal law or federal campaign finance law, that is a key part of the indictment. we're going to keep showing that to you because that is where we are headed in this trial. and some legal experts say this is where the trump defense team could make some hay.
