      After all the fraud hoops they jumped through to disguise the payment, Trump ended up paying Cohen $40,000 a month for a year.

        Adding to this: Because they paid Cohen back as income. So the 130k had to be increased to cover taxes. Though seems they paid because the taxes likely aren’t that high.

          Trump also added a lot as a bonus to Cohen for handling the situation.
