His attorney paid $130k to cover up the affair. Then, during the time he was president, Trump paid back the attorney but did not list the expense as "payment to porn star" rather "legal fees to attorney".

It is the same thing Clinton did, for the same reason, and in the same state. They bought the Steele Dossier and listed it as legal fees by running it through Perkins Coie. I don't recall Clinton being charged with any felonies by Alvin Bragg. It is at worst a misdemeanor that has already passed the statute of limitations.

From AP: The Clinton campaign hired Perkins Coie, which then hired Fusion GPS, a research and intelligence firm, to conduct opposition research on Republican candidate Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. But on FEC forms, the Clinton campaign classified the spending as legal services.

“By intentionally obscuring their payments through Perkins Coie and failing to publicly disclose the true purpose of those payments,” the campaign and DNC “were able to avoid publicly reporting on their statutorily required FEC disclosure forms the fact that they were paying Fusion GPS to perform opposition research on Trump with the intent of influencing the outcome of the 2016 presidential election,” the initial complaint had read.
