JUNE FEC: The Don had STILL not converted his campaign loans into gifts, which means
anyone donating money to his campaign was really just helping to pay back his loans -- those from himself to his campaign.
And it also means he was still not self-funding his campaign, despite his claims.
The next report was due today -- July 20th. No word on that yet.

The next FEC filing deadline, July 20, comes one day after Trump is scheduled to become the official Republican nominee for president. On Wednesday, we will have another opportunity to see whether Trump’s loans have been paid off — by himself, or by his supporters.
Though Noble noted that regulations on candidates loaning their campaigns money are fairly new, he said “it would probably be unprecedented” for a candidate to publicly go back on a pledge such as Trump’s.
The scam, were Trump to try it, would work like this: As long as his loans remain loans, not contributions, he can legally pay himself back with money from his campaign’s bank account until 20 days after the primary election ends — likely on Tuesday, when Trump becomes the official Republican nominee.
If he does pay himself back within those 20 days, we likely wouldn’t know until his campaign files its August financial report, in mid-September.
