Tornado Alley (PROG)

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign received a nastygram from the Federal Election Commission again — this time, in the form of a 243-page letter .. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24662022-trump-fec-letter-13may2024 .. flagging suspected illegal contributions.

Trump’s campaign appears to have accepted dozens of donations that exceed federal contribution limits — $3,300 per person to a candidate per election — from supporters who often made miniscule but repeated donations in a bizarre, seemingly random, manner.

Take Gail D. Lopez, listed in public documents as a retiree from Lacombe, La., who made 1,450 separate contributions to Trump’s campaign in less than 17 months.

Of those, 116 were for one penny.

Lopez made 228 additional contributions for less than a nickel....

And 240 pages of such contributions?? Very interesting. And new, too.
