Trump reimbursed Cohen for the payment and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/991992302267785216\">said he considered it<\/a> a monthly retainer fee.<\/p>\n<p>Trump denies the affair, and his attorneys have portrayed him as an extortion victim. They insist the payment, which was made in October 2016, was unrelated to Trump\u2019s presidential campaign at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) could seek the charge if prosecutors can show that Trump, with an intent to defraud, was personally involved in unlawfully designating Cohen\u2019s reimbursements a legal expense.<\/p>\n<p>That charge would still only amount to a misdemeanor, however. Elevating the charge to the felony version \u2014 which carries up to four years in jail \u2014 would require a connection to a separate crime.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Cohen pleaded guilty to federal campaign finance violations in connection with the scheme. But Bragg\u2019s office, which prosecutes state crimes, would rely on an untested legal theory if it cites a federal violation.<\/p>\n<p>Legal experts suggest Bragg could also look for a violation of state tax or campaign finance laws, depending on the evidence he collected.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Would_Trump_surrender_to_authorities\"><\/span>Would Trump surrender to authorities?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Trump has long decried the investigation as a plot to derail his 2024 presidential campaign, reiterating that belief on Monday by calling it \u201cthe greatest Witch Hunt of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Over the weekend, Trump rocked the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> cycle in a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> post by suggesting he would be arrested on Tuesday.
