  • Out of personal interest

  • To influence the 2016 presidential election

  • On the advice of his legal team

Answer

To influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, Cohen violated campaign finance laws by arranging hush payments to two women who alleged to have had affairs with then-candidate Donald Trump. He did so despite knowing it was illegal, as he believed it was in the best interest of his client and the country. As a result, Cohen faced legal consequences, including imprisonment, for his actions.
