Dark Money Groups Steal Millions From Trump Supporters and Trump Campaign

From Think Americana.com (Dec. 26, 2019):

There have been a number of groups out there disguising themselves as President Trump-related organizations, like "MAGA Coalition" and "Latinos for the President". In total, around 20 groups have been taking advantage of Trump supporters.

Overall, these "Dark Groups" as they are called have collected approximately $46.7 million in small-money contributions of $20 or less.

Most of the money is kept for themselves, with very little actually going towards supporting the President. The groups only donate enough to maintain their status pro-Trump PACs.

What makes the matter even worse is that there is nothing that can be done at all about it. The best way that you can protect yourself is to remember that the only authorized PAC to collect contributions for the Trump campaign is "America First".

America First spokeswoman Kelly Sadler told Politico:

“There’s nothing we can do to stop them. This is a problem for the campaign, as well as us, as well as for the RNC.” [read more]

Let the donator beware I guess.
