Next time you pay for your whore a little extra to not tell your family, try not to tell the police because NDAs are criminal documents now.

Ahh okay no, I gave you too much credit.

Paying someone to keep their mouth shut isn't an NDA.

It also isn't what Trump was charged for.

Trump was charged with falsifying business records with an intent to defraud. In NY, falsifying business records with the intent to aid or conceal another crime is a felony.

The "other crimes" that he committed are campaign finance violation and tax fraud related to it. Both he personally and the trump org made those payments with the intent to help his campaign by keeping that info out of the public, they needed to be publicly documented as campaign contributions. They were not. The falsification of the business records was intended to conceal that.

NY does not require you to be found guilty of the "other crime" for the upgrade to apply, it only requires that the falsification occurred and the jury rules that it was done so with the intent to aid or conceal another crime.
