    Can you expand more on the election interference part?

    Totally understand inciting an insurrection to be interference, but using campaign funds to manage public relations problems seems a legitimate use.

          Yeah, if he was upfront about things then there would be no criminal case

          However saying he set up shell companies to carry out falsification isn’t moralising

              I think you misread. He said “disguising”, which only means intent to keep hidden by masking the truth.

                The only disgusting (immoral) part of this is Trump cheating on his wife.

                Everything else could have been achieved perfectly legally (i.e. without disgust) if Trump had been smart.

                I don’t want to disgust you, but “intending to keep things hidden by masking the truth” is practically the definition of politics.
