Trump states he did it to protect his family, not his campaign.
TBH i don't think it would have made a difference to his campaign at all, but that's for another thread.

That, plus this is where the whole "one of three" things comes into play. Because the falsified business records not only had potential impacts on campaign finance issues, but also could have been tax fraud, even if one believed the idea he was sparing his family and not the campaign it would still be felonious.
