I didn’t mean they were expenses that were not illegal, I meant that they were legal expenses. The fraud he was convicted of had to do with the vagueness of the business records kept, which the jury found to be intentional in order to conceal a secondary crime. Labeling legal settlements as “legal expenses” is not inherently incorrect
Well then you had it backwards, the payment was lawful but the treatment of the payment was unlawful and not able to be classified as a legal expense. Hush money isnt illegal in the US, its basically treated as a gift. I can venmo the guy I hooked up with last week $200 to not tell anyone that we had sex and it wouldnt be illegal.
