The investigation looking into possible campaign finance violatons by the Trump campaign is over with no charges against the President.

A federal judge said on Wednesday that federal investigators have finished their investigation into campaign finance violations committed by President Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, over payments made to women alleging affairs with Trump.
Judge William H. Pauley III wrote in an order issued in the Southern District of New York that the “government now represents that it has concluded the aspects of its investigation that justified the continued sealing of the portions of the materials relating to Cohen’s campaign finance violations.”
“The campaign finance violations discussed in the Materials are a matter of national importance. Now that the Government’s investigation into those violations has concluded, it is time that every American has an opportunity to scrutinize the Materials,” he wrote.   The filing signals that federal investigators had wrapped up their probe in relation to Cohen and other Trump Organization executives' potential involvement in the payments  . . . . .   
CNN reported last week that the federal investigation on the alleged campaign finance violations was coming to an end, and that Trump Organization executives are unlikely to be charged.
