WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Federal prosecutors are investigating whether U.S. President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee misspent some of the funds it raised, the Wall Street
Journal reported on Thursday, citing people it said were familiar with the matter.
The investigation opened by the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office is examining whether some of the committee’s donors gave money in exchange for policy concessions, influencing
administration positions or access to the incoming administration, the Journal said.
The probe could present another legal threat for Trump and his White House, which already faces a web of lawsuits and probes into subjects such as the Trump campaign’s contacts
with Russia, hush-money payments to women made by the president’s former lawyer and spending by Trump’s foundation.
The investigation into the inaugural committee partly stemmed from materials seized in a probe into the dealings of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, the Journal reported. Cohen
was sentenced on Wednesday to three years in prison for crimes including orchestrating the hush payments in violation of campaign laws.
A spokesman for the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office declined to comment. Spokespeople for the White House and Trump’s campaign did not immediately respond to requests for
comment.
probably the dumbest thing to spend bribe money on tbh.
How many fucking investigations does this C.dif infected shitwipe of an administration have going right now?
Witch Hunt! Fake news!
with all the money that was probably spent on it, it still never even managed to beat Obama's inaug crowd for size, sad
