They were notoriously short of money toward the end. And now this mechanism to hide expenditures ...

Very strange.

The 2016 Inaugural Committee was also under investigation, they raised more money than any previous IC, and they can not account for where it all went.

The Trump family is like a mob family but nearly as smart or organized. There's no doubt that 1 or two of them end up in prison.

I'm not surprised, honestly.

Headline would lead one to believe campaign money was spent on the campaign.

If true, I am outraged!

I wish google allow us to block domain from search result like they used to allow.
They're not a general scope news source so much as mostly focused on Silicon Valley/Tech. They're click bait but generally factual click bait at least as it pertains to how things affect the microcosm that is the tech bubble.

The trump family is a cabal of crooked criminals. Apparently what trump meant by draining the swamp was expanding it bigly and adding many more swamp creatures to it, with him as the king of them all. More proof of the above:

If you’re among the 36.5 million Americans who have filed for unemployment insurance since mid-March, you might be asking yourself, “What happened to all of that money Congress passed to shore up the economy and keep small businesses afloat?” The answer: Too often, it went to donors, supporters, allies and former aides of President Donald J. Trump, aka The Swamp.

Clay Lacy Aviation, a private jet company founded by a Trump campaign and Republican National Committee donor, received $27 million in government funding through the $2 trillion coronavirus package known as the CARES Act.

Phunware, a data firm that is doing work for the Trump re-election campaign, received $2.85 million from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) — the average loan distributed through this program is $206,000.

CloudCommerce, a company whose largest shareholder is Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, received nearly a million dollars through the PPP.

Ronald Gidwitz is the president’s ambassador to Belgium and was the Trump campaign finance chair for Illinois. Gidwitz’s family is the largest shareholder in a company called Continental Materials Corp. They were approved for a $5.5 million PPP loan.

It's going to get worse over the next 30 days.

Explains the stories coming out about Pascale spending like crazy and getting rich on his commission's.

DJT could not handle that.
Kushner is the fall guy in this shell as well as Lara Trump and Mike Pence's son. Both named as officer's of the new LLC.
