☆ Republican Party officials made a mysterious $36,000 payment in February to private investigators who advertise their use of surveillance drones and hidden cameras
  + stars: | 2021-03-22 | by ( Robin Bravender | Dave Levinthal | Tom Lobianco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
The Michigan company appears to use drones and secret cameras in its surveillance. "This could be a million and one things," a former RNC official told Insider of the payment. "You'd have to know specifically what they were after before you could draw any conclusions," the former RNC official said. A Cross Xamine Investigations promotional video includes images of surveillance drones and video cameras, as well as eyeglasses that appear to have a camera embedded in them. The RNC's payment to a private investigations firm is "far from common — very, very rare," another longtime Democratic operative familiar with opposition research said.
☆ Watchdog group accuses the Trump campaign and family members of engaging in 'schemes' that hid massive election spending and likely broke federal law
  + stars: | 2021-01-28 | by ( Dave Levinthal | Tom Lobianco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
An election watchdog group has filed an updated complaint with the FEC against the Trump campaign. The Trump campaign "hid an incredible amount of money," Campaign Legal Center Director of Federal Reform Brendan Fischer said in an interview. A spokesman for the Trump campaign did not immediately return a request for comment Thursday morning. As a civil law enforcement body, it may issue fines to political committees and actors it determines have violated federal campaign laws. The Campaign Legal Center has not filed a complaint with the Department of Justice, which is tasked with investigating potential criminal violations of campaign finance laws.
☆ Trump and the GOP may be headed for an expensive divorce fight over donor and voter data
  + stars: | 2021-01-22 | by ( Dave Levinthal | Tom Lobianco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
A Trump campaign spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment. Donald Trump personally trademarked the slogan, and his presidential campaign subsequently assumed the trademark. It can even generate cash for years after a political campaign goes dormant. Romney's presidential committee finally terminated itself in September, transferring much of its remaining $92,000 to Romney's US Senate campaign committee after paying off lingering bills. Donations benefited both the Trump presidential campaign and RNC.
☆ EXCLUSIVE: Lawmakers ask FBI and Federal Election Commission to investigate Jared Kushner-backed Trump campaign company after Insider's reporting
  + stars: | 2020-12-19 | by ( Tom Lobianco | Dave Levinthal | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Trump's campaign and an affiliated committee regularly spent millions of dollars through American Made Media Consultants, according to FEC records. Insider was able to independently verify those details with other sources close to the Trump campaign. A request for comment from the Trump campaign was not immediately returned Friday evening. But in a previous statement to Insider, Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh said Lara Trump and John Pence did nothing wrong. Among those cases is one filed in July by the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center, which accused the Trump campaign of using American Made Media Consultants to illegally disguise campaign spending.
☆ EXCLUSIVE: Jared Kushner helped create a Trump campaign shell company that secretly paid the president's family members and spent $617 million in reelection cash, a source tells Insider
  + stars: | 2020-12-18 | by ( Tom Lobianco | Dave Levinthal | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +11 min
American Made Media Consultants became the source of consternation for President Donald Trump's campaign staff, who were kept in the dark about its operations. Despite its $617 million spending through AMMC, the Trump campaign publicly disclosed little information about the company, including how it used the money. Insider independently verified details of this person's account with other people close to the Trump campaign. The shell company — incorporated as American Made Media Consultants Corp. and American Made Media Consultants LLC — allowed Trump's campaign to skirt federally mandated disclosures. "Nothing was done without Jared's approval," the former Trump campaign advisor said.

So how are politicians spending election night in the time of coronavirus? Others will be drinking beer and flipping channels between old movies and election results. That announcement helped kickstart a 36-day saga that finally ended with Bush winning the presidential election. There, she's having an election night party that's being live-streamed. "It's the ultimate easy comfort food for an election night that will be filled with a lot of anxiety early on, and hopefully a lot of joy later on."
