Who paid for the Michigan Republicans White House trip?

Was it the Michigan taxpayers as an official state trip? Seems illegal

Was it the American Taxpayers as an official White House trip. Seems illegal

Was it the trump campaign? Seems really illegal

Hopefully some enterprising reporter will ask it. Also why aren't the TX, FL, or IN state legislators invited to the WH if this meeting doesn't involve a discussion of the Presidential electors.

Maybe they are talking about adoption.

No matter your questions are right on the money. Taking that trip has left the Michiganders open for criticism and possible charges.

When asked about the legality of the trip, the Michigan AG declined comment except to say that she was not free to speak about ongoing investigations.

Keep the pressure on these yokels who should have never agreed to this DC trip. They've completely compromised themselves.

Thank God for honest state SOS's.
