TRUMPS' Campaign Hit With New Warning About Taking ILLEGAL Donations

Unprecedented Surge in 'Dirty' Money Floods 2024 Election


‘The big rip-off’: New reporting details TRUMPS' campaign donations paying his legal bills


MSNBBC 19 MAR 2024






Trumps’ presidential campaign received a 79-page inquiry from the Federal Election Commission this week about excessive contributions, which isn’t unusual for him — he’s received such warnings before.


But what’s notable are the numerous miniscule donations — as little as one cent — to the man who famously boasts about his wealth. Those donors still managed to exceed the federal limit of $3,300 per person to a candidate per election, federal regulators told the Trump campaign.

The FEC lists 48 people who went over the limit while giving to Donald J. Trump For President 2024, Inc. during January.

Many of the people donated frequently — in seemingly random amounts.

A donor listed as Robert Strawbridge, a retired man from Shenandoah, Texas, made 154 donations to Trump that ranged from two cents to nine cents from May 2023 to January 2024.

Including the pocket change, Strawbridge made 517 donations in all totaling $3,754 — in excess of federal limits.

Twice, he made 14 separate donations in a single day.

Strawbridge did not immediately return Raw Story’s message.

Three donors made a total of nine donations of one cent. They included Mary Carrier, a retired woman from Orlando, Fla., whose 68 donations included two for a penny and another for two cents. Her largest was $440.79. The total of $4,502 went well over the maximum.

The FEC’s letter to Trump noted 256 different donations under 10 cents and 682 donations under a dollar — all from people who also went over the $3,300 limit, according to the regulators.

Contributions that exceed federal limits are supposed to be refunded by a campaign — or redesignated by the donor from, say, a primary election to a general election.






“Dark money” groups and shell companies are on track to steer more money from undisclosed sources to the 2023-2024 election than any prior cycle

In 2023 alone, shell companies and dark money groups injected over $162 million into political groups such as super PACs, surpassing the level of dark contributions seen at the same point in any prior election cycle, a new OpenSecrets analysis of Federal Election Commission data found.
