Trump Campaign Secretly Paying $180,000 A Year To His Sons' Significant Others

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump’s campaign is secretly paying one Trump son’s wife and another one’s girlfriend $180,000 a year each through the campaign manager’s private company, according to top Republicans with knowledge of the payments.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of eldest son Donald Trump Jr., and Lara Trump, wife of middle son Eric Trump, are each receiving $15,000 a month, according to two GOP sources who are informal White House advisers and who spoke on condition of anonymity.

They were unsure when the payments began but say they are being made by campaign manager Bradley Parscale through his company rather than directly by either the campaign or the party in order to avoid public reporting requirements.

“I can pay them however I want to pay them,” Parscale told HuffPost on Friday, but then declined to comment any further.

Critics of the arrangement, including Republicans, said the setup was designed to get around Federal Election Commission rules that require campaigns, political parties and other committees to disclose their spending in detail.

“A lot of people close to Donald Trump are getting rich off of his campaign,” said Paul Ryan, a campaign finance legal expert at the watchdog group Common Cause. “They don’t want donors to know that they’re getting rich. Because, at the end of the day, it’s donor money.”

1. K&R for exposure

[gratuitous]

2. Use this with your Republican pals

So, what do you think of your campaign contributions going to pay Eric's wife and Don Jr.'s side piece under the table? Is that why you gave money to the Trump campaign - so Don Jr. could keep his mistress in high style?

3. Hypocrites

Yet they have a problem with Hunter Biden's Ukraine income.

$30,000 a month for those two 'humans' is clearly fraudulent. How much per service are they charging? And Parscale talks big. Cannot wait til Diarrhea Don gets jealous and cans Brad and sues him for stealing his campaign funds. Grifters gotta grift.

5. Is Donald Trump so broke

That he has to steal campaign funds for their upkeep? Is there a single member of that family that is independent? What a bunch of low-life losers. A pack of pigs in expensive clothes.

Trump is not going to be able to afford to lose this campaign. When he is out of office the criminal charges should be coming in like a tsunami. Winning, by hook or crook, keeps him out of prison for four more years. Expect him to abuse all the powers he can summon to win.

6. All of the fools that donate to him

are just paying his family. I hope he has no money left for his campaign. Spend it all on foolishness to support women who will sleep with you. BTW, anyone who is truly a billionaire does not have to do this.

7. Is anyone surprised? Anyone? Nope. What a bunch of crooks. nt
