Trump broke the law by failing to disclose the loan on his presidential. Financial, disclosures, and while Giuliani, insists, it was all perfectly, legal because the money was used for personal not, political, reasons he may have stepped on his own message with this statement indicating. Politics, may have been at play imagine, if that came out on October 15th, 2016. You. Know last debate with Hillary Quest legal, analysts, warn tonight there was a, knowing. And willful attempt, to evade campaign, finance, disclosure and that could make the, entire scheme of criminal activity. Giuliani.
