Trump campaign paid $3.5 million to organizers of the January 6 protest. But Jared Kushner and Lara Trump were also involved in a secret spending mechanism that may conceal more such payments.

 

… the American public may never know the full extent of the Trump campaign’s payments to organizers involved in the protests…. because the campaign used an opaque payment scheme that concealed details of hundreds of millions of dollars in spending by routing payments through shell companies where the ultimate payee is hidden…. Trump’s 2020 campaign and joint fundraising committee … spent more than $771 million through [a] secretive limited-liability company [that] was created by campaign aides and members of Trump’s inner circle to act as a “clearinghouse” to pay vendors, concealing the campaign’s transactions with those vendors. ”
