Federal officials to Donald Trump: Your political money numbers don't make sense

(BusinessInsider)
A political action committee connected to former President Donald Trump is under increased scrutiny from federal officials because of apparent discrepancies in its financial disclosures.

Trump's Make America Great Again PAC made several mistakes in its first-quarter 2022 financial report, including discrepancies in its reported cash on hand in addition to calculation errors, according to a July 6 letter the Federal Election Commission sent the committee.

Money is speech after all and they probably stayed just this side of violating criminal statutes.

Game the laws, slip a little into the Pig's personal accounts.

He has gone on to his next money making scheme. He is now getting paid for speaking arrangements. His fanatics are paying big money for his speeches that go directly to him. Like paying for a concert.

I don't know about you, but I'm old enough to remember when Trump promised to self finance his entire campaign for president. LOL.

"no scrutiny whatsoever" all the way up to "basic scrutiny". Guess where Trump set his dial.
