Evidence (2023-04-05): Mr Bragg alleges that Mr Trump falsified the true nature of the payments because those payments were made in support of a crime. While hush-money payments are not by themselves illegal, spending money to help a presidential campaign but not disclosing it violates federal campaign finance law. [...] In one case, a doorman who said he knew Mr Trump had a child out of wedlock received $30,000. In another, a second woman who claimed she had an an affair with Mr Trump received $150,000. Mr Trump has denied the affair. These payments came from the tabloid National Enquirer magazine and its then-publisher, David Pecker, who Mr Bragg says co-ordinated with Mr Trump to suppress potentially damaging information from seeing the light of day. As a reward, the indictment notes, Mr Pecker received an invitation to Mr Trump's inauguration.

The alleged conduct included making unwelcome sexual comments and advances towards them, engaging in unwanted sexual touching of these women and offering housing benefits in exchange for sex acts, and taking or threatening to take adverse housing actions against women who object to his harassment. Under the settlement agreement, Tjoelker will pay $140,000 to compensate ten victims of discrimination already identified by the Department with any additional individuals who are determined to be victims through a process established in the settlement agreement. The settlement agreement also requires the defendant to pay $10,000 as a civil penalty to the United States.
