    What did it cost Trump? Something like $480,000 that he funneled as part of the cover up. Not sure if you want to factor in his current legal fees as part of the cost as well. I’m sure it’s well into the multi-millions by now. You probably couldn’t afford it.

        After all the fraud hoops they jumped through to disguise the payment, Trump ended up paying Cohen $40,000 a month for a year.

          Adding to this: Because they paid Cohen back as income. So the 130k had to be increased to cover taxes. Though seems they paid because the taxes likely aren’t that high.
