Lara Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle are each receiving $15,000 per month through the campaign managers private company, GOP sources said, to dodge FEC rules

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trumps campaign is secretly paying one Trump sons wife and another ones girlfriend $180,000 a year each through the campaign managers private company, according to top Republicans with knowledge of the payments.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of eldest son Donald Trump Jr., and Lara Trump, wife of middle son Eric Trump, are each receiving $15,000 a month, according to two GOP sources who are informal White House advisers and who spoke on condition of anonymity.
They were unsure when the payments began but say they are being made by campaign manager Bradley Parscale through his company rather than directly by either the campaign or the party in order to avoid public reporting requirements.
I can pay them however I want to pay them, Parscale told HuffPost on Friday, but then declined to comment any further.
Critics of the arrangement, including Republicans, said the setup was designed to get around Federal Election Commission rules that require campaigns, political parties and other committees to disclose their spending in detail.
A lot of people close to Donald Trump are getting rich off of his campaign, said Paul Ryan, a campaign finance legal expert at the watchdog group Common Cause. They dont want donors to know that theyre getting rich. Because, at the end of the day, its donor money.

I don't think it's a secret. Don't they work on his re-election campaign? Remember the Omarosa...

point ... must be doing so fully knowing that they will be ripped off by Needy Amin and the gaggle of grifters in which he is ensconced.
That being said ... LOCK THEM THE F*** UP!!!

saga, the dim one's wife, offered Omarosa a salary at that level to kind of keep her in the fold before she wrote that book?
It's sleazy all right, and perhaps unethical as the money comes from campaign donors, but it's nothing unusual for that family.

So she's earning her pay, but I get nothing from this other bimbo, so I am sure she is not earning her $180k. Bitch.
