TFG accused of breaking campaign finance law by not declaring

as an official candidate for 2024.

As a side note, the article photo makes him look like Sideshow Bob and I thought you'd get a kick out of it.




Democratic Group Says Trump Is Breaking Campaign Law by Not Declaring for 2024

The complaint to the Federal Election Commission accuses Donald Trump of improperly using his existing political committees to advance a presidential run.

March 14, 2022

Federal rules require those who raise or spend more than $5,000 in support of a presidential campaign to register with the Federal Election Commission.

Mr. Trump has repeatedly teased that he plans to run for president again, saying at the Conservative Political Action Conference last month, “We did it twice and we’ll do it again.” But though he formally filed for re-election the day of his inauguration in 2017, Mr. Trump has not done so for 2024. Such a filing would set off restrictions on how he could raise and spend campaign money, including his existing war chest.

Trump-controlled committees entered 2022 with $122 million in the bank — far more than the Republican Party itself.

The FEC has never ever done anything to Trump. We're something like 0-64. Patterson Mar 2022 #4

I read this headline and felt like we just stepped back to 2016, or this was an article dated 2015/16

That effin thug hasn't paid one cent of penalties for anything, and has committed countless acts of criminal fraud.

why even bother posting this stuff anymore?

Legal eagles here seem to think investigations are underway. maybe so, but what about charges. Nada. Zip.
