>He was laundering election money to do it, so it's Election Fraud.
Sorta. He didn't steal donations or anything. The law he violated was the one on donation limits, since Cohen and the Inquirer guy paid off Stormy. But that's a federal crime. The state crime he's charged with was the falsification of business records to cover up that federal crime relating to reimbursements on his own back end. That money wasn't election money. It was paying back election money. Effectively there was money laundering coming and going and this is about the going.

So while election fraud did occur, and indeed Cohen went to jail for that shit, this trial is about business fraud.
