He was protecting his family from a moment of weakness. Would have done it campaign or not.
It was his decision to hide it in an illegal way. And the assertion that he was protecting his family doesn't pass the smell test. This is the guy that cheated on wife number 1 with eventual wife number 2. He also used to call news outlets pretending to be a friend of Trump and brag about women he supposedly was dating. This is the man that made the 'grab them by the p*ssy brag' despite having a family. This was all about avoiding a scandal during an election.
But he got greedy. If he had paid with his own funds and not tried to take a business deduction, there would be ZERO crimes at the state or federal level. But Trump being Trump, he grifted himself into crimes at both levels.
