The Bannon indictment says money ran through a nonprofit he controlled, as well as a shell company. The use of such structures for opaque financial transactions just keeps popping up. justice.gov/usao-sdny/pres… Image
With Bannon in the news, reupping some pieces from @publicintegrity archives. First up, I followed the $$ and the docs and laid out then-new details about his relationship with the megadonor Mercers in 2016: publicintegrity.org/politics/reclu…
Bannon disclosed details about his debt after @zubakskees reported he hadn't made public all the required info while working at the WH: publicintegrity.org/politics/steve…
And don't miss this wonderful piece by @christinawilkie on Bannon's shadow press office: publicintegrity.org/politics/steve…
So many of the charges against figures in Trump's orbit have to do with nonprofits and shell companies.

And, of course, @Fahrenthold's wonderful reporting on the Trump Foundation is essential reading here: washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
Bannon was at one point so influential with the megadonor Mercers, his company received a six-figure fundraising fee from Citizens United for bringing in a $2M contribution from the Mercers' foundation. publicintegrity.org/politics/reclu… Image

100 days from the election, so time to highlight @publicintegrity ballot access coverage on forces shaping the 2020 election: sharp polling place consolidations falling heavily on voters of color, partisan power struggles, $$ shortages, VBM learning curves - and the pandemic.
During this coronavirus-plagued primary season, some of the sharpest reductions in numbers of polling places — and longest lines — have come in cities home to many voters of color. @pratheekrebala data analysis showed the impact: publicintegrity.org/politics/elect…
An early skirmish over adding an in-person polling place in a California special election gave an early look at how contentious decisions about access to voting could get. Trump called the election "rigged." Our exclusive data analysis showed otherwise. publicintegrity.org/politics/elect…

ICYMI: Native American voters in North Dakota will be able to vote even if they don't have ID with a street address under a new legal settlement announced yesterday. publicintegrity.org/politics/votin… 1/
The settlement needs final approval, but would end years of litigation over North Dakota's voter ID requirements. It would require the state to distribute IDs on reservations and provide voters who don't have such IDs with a street address in time for their votes to count. 2/
