Trump's lawyer paid the money prior to the election, presumably for the benefit of Trump’s campaign, it should be considered a campaign contribution. As such, it would be in violation of federal election law, because it wasn’t reported and it exceeded the maximum allowable contribution amount.
There’s a maximum amount that someone can contribute to a campaign, and $130k exceeds that. Additionally, campaigns are legally required to report contributions that they receive, and this payment was not reported.
If Trump knew about the payment to Clifford, that would mean that he and his campaign knowingly received a contribution that exceeded the legal limit, and kept it from the Federal Elections Commission.
