Federal prosecutors alleged Friday that President Trump violated campaign finance law – but in fact, he didn’t.

A sentencing memorandum filed Friday in U.S. District Court in New York City regarding former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen states that Cohen “acted in coordination with and at the direction of” presidential candidate Trump to make hush-money payments during the 2016 presidential campaign to two women who allege they had extramarital affairs with Trump.

President Trump has denied having affairs with the women – adult-film actress Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal – and denied doing anything illegal.

The sentencing memo was filed following Cohen’s guilty pleas to multiple counts of business and tax fraud. He also pleaded guilty to making an excessive contribution to the Trump campaign (the hush-money payments to Daniels and McDougal) and to making false statements to Congress regarding unsuccessful efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
