Dope1: On point (iii) he can't, as Trump visited Trump tower numerous times while he was President (Barron IIRC was staying there instead of the White House). Point (ii) is shot because of the Federal Election Campaign Act's clear pre-emption provision *and* the fact that the FEC already ruled it wasn't a violation. Point (i) is covered by the fact that this was *internal* reporting.

Trump changed his legal residence in 2019.

You keep repeating the claim that "the FEC already ruled it wasn't a violation" which is completely false and I've pointed it out at least twice. Here's a third time:

The Democratic commissioners, Shana M. Broussard and Ellen L. Weintraub, argued that the charges against Trump -- that he "knowingly and willfully accepted contributions nearly 5,000% over the legal limit to suppress a negative story mere days before Election Day" -- were "well-grounded."

The Republican commissioners, Sean J. Cooksey and James E. Trainor III, didn't address the charges' validity, but instead argued that Cohen's guilty plea in federal court made the public record "complete." This, they argued, made moot any actions by the commission, including action against Trump.

The Republican commissioners' statement did not say the commission was clearing Trump of wrongdoing in the matter. And even if the Republican commissioners had said that, they would not have been able to make that the commission's final ruling; that view was firmly opposed by the two Democrats.

And where is Shugerman's evidence that this was solely an 'internal' filing? Does he know everything that Bragg knows?
