Illegal tRump PAC 'Rebuilding America Now' burns through $917K in fees & meals of its $1,005K it had

in 2017. Basically these former Manafort associates, Gay and McKay, enriched themselves on funds that were not theirs, while paying off some of Manafort's debt in the process. Sounds like the model Ivanka Trump used for her inauguration committee funds, where $42M is unaccounted for and Melania nepotistically expensed $26M to her friend.

Mueller’s investigation eyes shady pro-Trump super PAC

Of the $1.05 million the PAC spent in the year after the 2016 election, $917,000 went towards consulting fees for Gay and McKay, travel, and meals.

Some of that money indirectly flowed back to Manafort. - NJ Today

I can only imagine what's happening over at the U.S. Treasury.

Swamp. Swamp. Swamp. And more Swamp. JHC!

She's gotta look out for herself as trump's pre-nup is probably geared to just take care of the kid.
