The $107 million party
The New York feds are looking into Trump’s inauguration scams.
Federal prosecutors in New York on Monday delivered a sweeping request for documents related to donations and spending by President Trump’s inaugural committee, a sign of a deepening criminal investigation into activities related to the nonprofit organization.
A wide-ranging subpoena served on the inaugural committee Monday seeks an array of documents, including all information related to inaugural donors, vendors, contractors, bank accounts of the inaugural committee and any information related to foreign contributors to the committee, according to a copy reviewed by The Washington Post.
…
Trump’s inaugural committee raised a record $107 million to fund events and parties surrounding his assumption of office in January 2017, more than twice the amount raised to fund President Barack Obama’s 2009 inaugural.
Contributions were made by a wide array of corporate interests and wealthy Trump supporters, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.
But it couldn’t possibly be anything to do with people buying favor, could it?
The request for documents, first reported by ABC News, is a sign of another widening legal headache for Trump, whose business, personal charitable foundation and campaign are all under investigation by state and federal authorities.
Almost as if he’s a massive crook and always has been.
Unthinkable.!!!
My whole day’s been spoilt now…..!!!!
Boy, that swamp has really been drained. Good thing America elected a president who wouldn’t need to raise money because he was so independently wealthy.
Who gets to drain the toxic waste dump that replaced the swamp?
Mitch McConnell?
Seriously, I suspect this is one toxic dump that will remain for future generations to clean.
That donors were buying influence is a given, the interesting part will be following the money from Donnie’s Big Party Fund to…where? Donnie’s Big Bank Account (via Donnie’s Money Laundromat)?
AoS, you’ve got it all wrong! He isn’t enriching himself in the presidency, oh no! No, I think maybe we should look at Ivanka and Jared’s bank account, maybe.
