A wk ago I got a tip: a leading $-in-politics watchdog is about to file a massive report to the FEC saying Trump2020 has "disguised nearly $170mill dollars of campaign spending by laundering the funds through firms headed" by top officials. It's out today:

2/“The Trump campaign is violating the law,” Potter, who was appointed to the FEC in 1991 by George H.W. Bush and served as general counsel to John McCain’s 2000 and 2008 presidential campaigns, told me. “They are hiding information they are required to provide to the public.”
3/Tim Murtaugh, the communications director for President Trump's reelection campaign, did not directly address the allegations put forth in the CLC $ complaint, but told me that the campaign “complies with all campaign finance laws and FEC regulations.”

& @CampaignLegal has just filed w/ the FEC alleging “Trump's campaign and joint fundraising committee violated campaign finance law's reporting requirements by laundering nearly $170mill in campaign spending through firms run by senior campaign officials.” campaignlegal.org/document/compl…
“Some run-of-the-mill spending such as salary payments to senior officials—including Parscale, Bill Stepien, the new campaign manager, and Gary Coby, the digital director—do not appear on FEC reports either.”
