If I read this correctly, prosecutors are accusing Trump of conspiracy, a felony, as it relates to Cohen committing campaign finance violations “at the direction” of Trump.

The real news right now is not about Cohen’s sentence. It is about the conclusion by federal prosecutors that Donald J. Trump has committed a serious felony.
