Trump pal funneled millions of Israeli gov't cash into US media

1. Aw, remember when Trump fired Parscale as campaign manager because he was suspicious ol' Brad was skimming funds?

Good times.

President Donald Trump's reelection campaign has "disguised nearly $170 million" worth of campaign spending "by laundering the funds" through companies led by the former campaign manager Brad Parscale or created by Trump campaign lawyers, a new complaint with the Federal Election Commission says.

The 82-page complaint, filed Tuesday by the Campaign Legal Center, contends that the Trump campaign's spending practices have the practical effect of masking payments — in violation of federal campaign-transparency rules — to various advertising contractors and senior Trump campaign staff and family members, including Lara Trump, the wife of the president's son Eric Trump, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr.

Parscale told the Washington Examiner in 2018 that America Made Media Consultants' creation was an effort "to make sure that I am running the most transparent campaign possible."

But for months Trump chafed at the fees Parscale was charging the campaign, ultimately demoting Parscale as campaign manager two weeks ago and installing Bill Stepien.
