I have to deal with this in my business so heres my 1.5 cents:
The issue is Trump ORG paid Cohen not a direct payment from Trump's checkbook etc. Even though his name is on it technically / legally in most cases that is NOT his personal $.
It was sloppy as f-ck to put it nicely. Could have salaried Don jr 200k and had him wire Cohen for legal services etc. Over and done. That one extra step would have made this completely untraceable.
