Could someone explain how paying a person not to publicly talk about what you did is illegal? If a company does this, it's called NDA. Is it because prostitution is illegal in the US?

It's because Trump used tax payers money iirc to pay her off.

Not taxpayer money, but campaign fund money which is subject to FEC rules. It's kinda similar to George Santos getting botox or going shopping with campaign funds, but on a grander scale.

The crime is not the payoff. It is the falsification of bussiness records.
