    Campaign funds paid them, not him personally. Although he’s surely grifting off the campaign and no doubt considers all that money his own.

      Isn’t that more of the same crime the trial was about?

        Yes. These bribes are something he would have done independently of the campaign so using campaign funds is a campaign finance violation AFAICT. I am not a lawyer.
