Feds Ask Marjorie Taylor Greene to Account for Over $3.5M of Unitemized Donations

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has asked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for more information about $3.5 million in contributions to her re-election campaign.

In two filings posted to the FEC website on Monday and surfaced on Twitter by Georgia Public Broadcasting reporter Stephen Fowler on Tuesday, the congresswoman's husband Perry Greene—her campaign treasurer— was asked to provide additional details about donations the campaign received during the first two quarters of 2021.

Between January and March, the Greene campaign received $2,558,631.61 in unitemized donations from undisclosed donors, while the campaign received another $967,045.73 in unitemized donations between April and June. The campaign reported a total of more than $4.5 million in donations during the same time period.

Candidates are not legally obliged to itemize donations or disclose the identity of their donors for contributions that total under $200 during an election cycle. For donations that do need to be itemized, campaigns must supply details including the name of the donor, the donor's address, occupation, employer and the date of the donation must be provided.

MTG is a dangerous insidious presence, and has to be stopped. However, this 'way' won't likely stick.

$3.5 M is a lot of used clothing!
