Keep in mind Trump is already a convicted felon for doing this already.

The former president’s attorneys allegedly sent Daniels an offer where the amount she owed him over a defamation suit would be lowered if she agreed not to make “defamatory or disparaging statements” about him.
The details were revealed in a special report by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, who obtained calls, documents and emails about the deal.
“Twenty days before this election, we can report that he is once again trying to pay Stormy Daniels to be quiet,” she said in a special broadcast on Wednesday evening.
In 2016, Trump’s then-attorney and “fixer” Michael Cohen paid Daniels a separate $130,000 hush money payment, in order to silence her about an alleged affair 10 years earlier, when Trump was first running for the White House.
That payment was at the center of Trump’s criminal trial in New York this spring. Daniels took the stand at his trial and, on May 30, Trump was found guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records over the payment.
His sentencing was originally scheduled for September 18 but is now expected to take place on November 26 – just weeks after the November 5 election.
Separate from the criminal case, Daniels sued the former president for defamation in 2018. She ultimately lost, and was ordered to pay Trump’s legal fees.
In the wake of the criminal verdict, Trump’s Florida attorney then tried to strike “another hush money deal” with the former porn star – involving the money owed in the defamation case, Maddow reported.
