Trump Never Consulted McGahn on Hush Money Payments

President Trump “didn’t consult his campaign finance lawyer Don McGahn about hush-money payments that were made days before the election and are now the center of a criminal case,” Bloomberg reports.

“The absence of McGahn, who is now White House counsel, could be a key piece of evidence in any criminal prosecution… Prosecutors could argue it shows Trump knew the payments were illegal and hid them. But Trump’s lawyers could counter that it’s a sign Trump didn’t realize they were related to the campaign.”
