19. Shell have to prove where the funds came from.

If Cohen did in fact write her a check himself, as he has alleged, she’s going to have a high bar.

If Cohen was also an employee of the campaign, and received compensation from the campaign, then that question will have to be resolved. Were his payments at the time of the settlement higher than his normal payments?

Just saying the payments were illegal doesn’t make it so.

Trump could also come back and just sign the agreement. He could say they forgot to return a countersigned agreement, or he could say nothing. I have signed a lot of non-disclosure agreements in my work, and none of them anywhere has ever An execute by date attached to it.
