Do not think so -- note that Cohen was convicted of
one count of causing an unlawful campaign contribution; and one count of making an excessive campaign contribution

no mention of payments to influence an election which is the guts of Bragg's case -- it could be the "unlawful campaign contribution" -- if Bragg convicts Trump of that, it will be an interesting appeal

my understanding is the feds have declined to charge Trump with these transactions

stay tuned

He said the proof of that was that Cohen took out a line of credit to pay off Stormy.

That is what I have never understood. I've taken out several HELOC loans in my life and it's not simply like applying for a credit card. The amount of information you have to provide and the time it takes to get approved could take weeks, if not months. Maybe for someone like Cohen it's different, but when I applied, it took a long time and was utterly infuriating. Also, was the property in his name only but did his wife also have to sign off on it?
