Reporting cited here

1. convicted

   Cohen sought reimbursement for the $130,000 Daniels payment, a $35 fee, and a claimed $50,000 technology expense. Trump Organization executives doubled $180,000 for taxes, added a $60,000 bonus, and scheduled $420,000 in $35,000 monthly checks supported by invoices for legal services. Cohen admitted there was no retainer and the invoices concealed reimbursement. The $420,000 went to Cohen as reimbursement and bonus, not to Daniels as additional hush money.
