The sale came at a critical moment for Kellyanne▶️her ownership had come under Congressional scrutiny for potential “conflicts of interest,” likely creating pressure to unload it even though its value was unclear and she was its biggest asset but committed to her WH job.🙄
Leo—via one of his dark money groups—helped finance the transaction between Kellyanne and Creative Response Concepts Inc (CRC) *worth between $1 million and $5 million*.
At the time, CRC was also bringing in millions of dollars from dark money groups to promote Leo’s picks.🤬

Kellyanne was in a tiny circle of advisers with outsized influence over Trump, whose commitment to overturning major precedents like #RoeVWade was in doubt by some conservatives. KellyAnne proved to be an outspoken advocate for Leo’s list of handpicked candidates.🤬

🚨WHOA: On the same day of the sale (9/21/17), a lawyer filed liens with Virginia regulators listing collateral for 2 loans: one for CRC (the buyer) and the **other for a dark money group controlled by Leo** (BH Fund).
The liens were filed within 5 minutes of each other.💥

👆🏼The timing and the similarity of the two transactions suggest that Leo’s dark money group (BH Fund) may have been involved in the purchase of Kellyanne’s firm.
