Jared Kushner Helped Create Shell Trump Campaign Company That Secretly Paid Family Members, Report Says19 December 20
The payments to the Trump family and top advisors through the company helped shield financial details from the public, according to Business Insider. Use of the company, incorporated as American Made Media Consultants Corporation and American Made Media Consultants LLC, reportedly allowed the president and his family to bypass federally required financial disclosures. Campaign finance records show the Trump campaign and its committee at the Republican National Committee, spent $617 million from their $1.26bn coffers through the company, according to Insider. Mr Kushner allegedly helped establish the company in 2018 and Mr Trump�s daughter-in-law Lara Trump was installed as president, vice president Mike Pence�s nephew John Pence as vice president, and Trump campaign CFO Sean Dollman as treasurer and secretary. Some of Mr Trump�s advisors said that they did not know how the shell company worked, and did not know of Lara Trump and John Pence�s involvement. "They like to say they don't know, but that's not true," one person familiar with the company told Insider. "What they wanted was excuses so they could blame other people. If they thought that, why did they keep using it?� A spokesman for Mr Kushner and the Trump campaign did not return a request for comment. "Lara Trump and John Pence resigned from the AMMC board in October 2019 to focus solely on their campaign activities, however, there was never any ethical or legal reason why they could not serve on the board in the first place. John and Lara were not compensated by AMMC for their service as board members," Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told Insider. Mr Dollman declined to comment, according to Insider. The Federal Elections Committee can hand out fines to campaigns for any breaches of election law. |

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

Just VOTE 2020 and assist all who can't vote because of GOP doing so much to stop the vote against him.
And "if you can" send $$ to the lady who's running against Mitch the creep who is as bad as Trump.
Thanks
Again, that is essentially the definition of capitalism (bastard Latin for "money worship").
If tRump groupies follow his words as gospel and they choose to inject their lungs with Lysol, well... I'm sorry for the families; but "stupid is as stupid does."
However, as tRump continues to endanger the public with the consequence of what comes out of his blow-up-doll mouth, a pandemic isn't what threatens world civilization. Precisely what Adam Schiff warned about in the impeachment trial of the 45th.
stability assessment? If not, I guess we need to see him
Is not Trump's public suggestion about treating the virus with bleach and powerful light enough reason to insist he needs mental assessment? What will be enough of a reason?
