Here’s the link to the NY Southern District federal indictment about straw donor scheme charging Fruman, Parnas and two others with hiding source of campaign donations from Russian businessman starting in March 2018...int.nyt.com/data/documenth…
The players...the defendants named in the Indictment [Indictment is not evidence and the defendants are presumed innocent] 2/
The alleged purpose of the straw donor scheme where corporation Global Energy is created to funnel donations to PACs and candidates. 3/
May 2018 Parnas allegedly uses the straw company to make a $325,000 payment to Committee #1 -- America First Action which is closely aligned with Trump. 4/
In 2017 & 2018, America First Action spent $452,245.15 at Trump Hotels much for "administrative" services. This is a huge amount and is in addition to what Trump's own campaign pays to Trump businesses. First Action paid Don Jr. $7430.46 for "materials" on 9/25/18. 5/
America First Action is currently chaired by Linda McMahon, the former head of the Small Business Administration, and Trump friend. Other former Trump admin officials like Sean Spicer have gone to work there after leaving WH.
America First says it’s “the only Official Pro-Trump Super PAC.” Assume that Trump campaign wants you to send your PAC $ here. I notice America First hasn’t offered to return the $325,000 donation of foreign funds nor does it mention the arrests of its donors on Twitter.
