Manafort Cohen says he was ordered to (use campaign funds?) pay pornstars that Trump paid to sleep with.

Cohen didn't really say anything of the sort, he allegedly signed a plea deal that included something about campaign finance violations in it. The thing to remember is people sign plea deals all the time "admitting" to shit they didn't do because the alternative outcome is perceived as worse. The prosecutor could also be looking for something specific for whatever personal reason, they could want their murder conviction rate at 100% for example, so they drop other charges and offer a lighter sentence across the board to get the outcome they're seeking.
