Trump just keeps winning this week: prosecutors drop charges against Trump Organization

A months-long federal investigation into whether Trump organization officials violated campaign finance laws appears to be coming to a close without a single charge being filed, according to CNN, citing people familiar with the matter.

New York federal prosecutors have been investigating whether company executives broke the law, "including in their effort to reimburse Michael Cohen for hush-money payments he made to women alleging affairs with his former boss, President Donald Trump," according to the report.

While the case has not been formally closed, it has gone about as cold as one can get.

Launched in the wake of former Trump attorney Michael Cohen's guilty plea on eight counts, two of which included campaign-finance violations for 'fixing' payments to two women who alleged affairs to Trump, prosecutors said in court filings that he was reimbursed by the Trump organization. A total of $420,000 was authorized in payments to Cohen to cover the payoffs, tax liabilities and a bonus. Company executives falsely recorded those payments as legal expenses, according to prosecutors.

Yet despite Cohen's testimony and several months of investigation, this story appears to be yet another failed "gotcha" from the resistance.
