Topic: Access Hollywood

Judge Napolitano explains a potential defense for Trump: if the payments to Stormy Daniels were made to save his marriage rather than his campaign, they would be legal personal expenses. He notes the timing of the payment—two weeks after the *Access Hollywood* tape—as a factor the government will use to argue it was a campaign expense. Napolitano argues that if Trump used his own money and didn't seek corporate reimbursement, there is no crime.
