Presidential candidates typically resign from corporate boards soon after entering the race, to avoid the appearance of any conflicts. A spokeswoman for Ms. Haley did not comment on the filing, or on Ms. Haley’s continued service on the United Homes board. Ms. Haley listed a dozen speaking engagements, for each of which she reported an honorarium between $100,001 and $1 million. The Wall Street Journal reported last month that Ms. Haley had received stock options from United Homes worth close to $300,000 on March 30, about six weeks after she entered the presidential race. In the filing, Ms. Haley reported owning between $250,000 and $500,000 worth of stock in Great Southern Homes, which became United Homes when it went public through a merger.

☆ These Are the Charges Against George Santos
  + stars: | 2023-05-10 | by ( Nicholas Fandos | Rebecca Davis O Brien | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Federal prosecutors have charged Representative George Santos of New York with 13 counts of money laundering, stealing public money, wire fraud and making false statements to Congress. Prosecutors said the charges resulted from “fraudulent schemes and brazen misrepresentations” designed to mislead donors, enrich Mr. Santos and win a seat in Congress as a Republican from Queens. The Times reported than Mr. Santos registered a company, RedStone Strategies, in November 2021, the same date noted in the indictment, and told donors it was an “independent expenditure” group, or super PAC. Mr. Santos was also charged with three counts of money laundering in connection to the donor solicitation scheme. Mr. Santos was earning $120,000 a year through his employment at a Florida-based investment company, but prosecutors said he repeatedly told the state he had been unemployed since March 2020.
☆ Freedom and the American Flag Dominate First Ad for Biden
  + stars: | 2023-04-26 | by ( Rebecca Davis O Brien | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Mr. Biden formally entered the race on Tuesday. The ad purchase is small, a largely symbolic outlay in parts of battleground states and on a liberal news network. said it was the first of two ads in a two-week, seven-figure purchase. But its content signals an attempt to reclaim the mantle of patriotism — and the protection of democratic values, stability and rights — for Democrats, even as Republicans accuse them of pursuing a radical liberal agenda. The ad also portrays Mr. Biden as Americans’ best defender against “an extreme movement that seeks to overturn elections, ban books and eliminate a woman’s right to choose.”
☆ Trump’s Fund-Raising: From Sluggish to Surging After Indictment
  + stars: | 2023-04-16 | by ( Rebecca Davis O Brien | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign took in $14.4 million in the first three months of 2023, part of an $18.8 million haul across his two campaign committees this quarter — a modest sum that captures only the beginning of a fund-raising bonanza set off by his indictment in late March. In the weeks since then, Mr. Trump has raised more than $15 million, his campaign said Saturday ahead of its quarterly filing with the Federal Election Commission — including at least $4 million in the 24 hours after The Times reported his indictment on March 30. A more thorough accounting of Mr. Trump’s post-indictment fund-raising will not be available for months, when the next quarterly filing is due. Still, the latest numbers show that the case against Mr. Trump gave a jolt of energy to his efforts to raise campaign funds, which had been sluggish out of the gate, drawing more than 300,000 individual donations, a vast majority of which were under $200, his campaign said. Mr. Trump had a head start in fund-raising against his current and potential rivals for the Republican nomination, but perhaps more significant is the way his base has rallied around the former president after his indictment, which many of his supporters see as politically motivated.
☆ For DeSantis, Overflowing War Chest Obscures the Challenges Ahead

He is prohibited by law from transferring that “soft” money — dollars raised without federally imposed limits — into a presidential campaign. “Can he take that money, which was raised through his state PAC, and use it to advance his presidential campaign directly or through a federal super PAC supporting him?” said Saurav Ghosh, a former F.E.C. enforcement lawyer who is now the director of federal campaign finance reform at the Campaign Legal Center, a watchdog group. Representatives of Mr. DeSantis did not respond to requests for comment. Should he decide to run for president, he will be a grass-roots-fueled force to be reckoned with.”
