When the charges are disclosed iit will be interesting as iit could be more than the payments to Daniels. .
I believe the last known witness before the grand jury before they voted to charge Trump was David Pecker. Pecker was involved with the National Enquirer and ran a catch and kill scheme on behalf of Trump, whereby women such as Daniels were paid money for their story which was never published. Pecker asked Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen to deal with Daniels' claim, rather than him dealing with it, hence the more public knowledge about the Daniels' payments
Also the Trump organisation's 74 year old former CFO is currently in Rikers prison, having plea bargained in the tax fraud enquiry..It is understood he recently binned his two lawyers being paid for by the Trump organisation and appointed his own. Possibly to address further charges being brought against him, with the DoJ having used his last 4 months in Rikers to soften him up.

The news article on the BBC lists putting a hush money payment to your porn star on the side, down as a business expense as the first charge of 24+ charges. The New York investigation into his financial affairs has been going on for some time.

Hopefully the republicans will choose someone else.
Biden v Trump would be an awful choice for the US. electorate.

Joe Biden is 80 years old. Joe, it's ok to walk calmly onto a stage, no need for the jogging.

And if the money is allocated as being for teh defense in this specific case then it might get round some of the rules regarding campaign funds
Of course, where or not it gets used to the defence or gets used on "essentials" is another matter - especially if there are less/no checks onit all!
