President Donald Trump's most powerful advisor, Jared Kushner, approved the creation of a campaign shell company that secretly paid the president's family members and spent almost half of the campaign's $1.26 billion war chest, a person familiar with the operation told Insider.

The operation acted almost like a campaign within a campaign. It paid some of Trump's top advisors and family members while shielding financial and operational details from public scrutiny.

When Kushner and others created the company in April 2018, they picked Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump, to become its president, Vice President Mike Pence's nephew John Pence as its vice president, and Trump campaign CFO Sean Dollman as its treasurer and secretary, the person who spoke on the condition of anonymity said.

Insider independently verified details of this person's account with other sources close to the Trump campaign.

The shell company — incorporated as American Made Media Consultants Corporation and American Made Media Consultants LLC — allowed Trump's campaign to skirt federally mandated disclosures. The tactic could attract scrutiny from federal election regulators.

Campaign finance records show Trump's reelection effort and its affiliated committee with the Republican National Committee spent more than $600 million through American Made Consultants since its formation.

1. Jared & Ivankas 30 million $ lot in Miami paid for by Magats

Well they got what they paid for. Corruption and self serving greed. Who would of guessed?

[dalton99a]

2. Nice scam.

16. Isn't it though?

Kushner's ex-con Daddy must be so proud of his little boy.

Talk about crime families. This is a combination of 2 of the worst. Aside from Mary Trump and her father, the entire Trump clan is together on being above the law but not above a scam. And Kushner and son are despicable criminal slum lords and grifters. I pray that this group of thieves and cold-fish villains at least -- at the very least -- lose everything and have to seek government assistance to keep a roof over the heads and, as George W, Bush famously said "put food on their families."

3. There's just no end to the goddamned grifting

What would make me happy is Jarvanka hauled off to the klink the day before they move into their new $30 million grift mansion

[Cracklin Charlie]

5. It's just a lot.

A 30 million dollar lot. They would have to camp out to stay there.

[Cracklin Charlie]

4. Is skinny Jared setting all these criminals up for a takedown?

They spent 600 million?

Someone best check their secret accounts.

[tblue37]

6. We knew that his huge war chest just have disappeared into the grift.

[Jirel]

7. My, my. This is HUGE.

We have proof of criminal activity on a massive scale (election laws, and possibly fraud, RICO, and others).

We have proof that all the bellyaching at the end of the campaign about it being "broke" was caused by embezzlement of the campaign funds by the candidate and his crime family.

As a bonus, we know what the Parscale meltdown was all about.

[Brother Buzz]

8. The company was created in April 2018

This was a long term scam

Reflecting a bit, one could make the argument Brad Parscale was a convenient patsy in this twisted con game.

10. And our ever-vigilant Attorney General will say.....

"Zat's not my department."

(apologies to Tom Lehrer and his "Wernher von Braun" )

11. This seems like a crime

And if it is, it will still be a crime after noon on January 20, 2021.

But only if President Biden gives the nod and the new AG is a pitbull.

12. Trumpism breeds corruption

[Midnight Writer]

13. What a smart business move! How much did they get in small business relief loans?

If the corporation is guilty of wrongdoing, the Executives and Owners skate free, right? Just like Purdue Pharmaceuticals? The corporation can pay a nominal fine and everyone goes home with their stolen money? Just like Rick Scott did?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Election Fraud. Little or nothing being said on con sites. . . . nt

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

15. They need to replace that big bird looking spokesgoblin with the

Chief of Police from the Simpsons "Nothing to see here.... move along..." (while explosions are going on in the background).

[yellowcanine]

17. Looks like Jared is as big a crook as Trump.

These guys make "I am not a crook" Nixon look like a Sunday school teacher.

[onetexan]

20. Jared, Ivanka, Eric, Don Jr. & the Con - all of them are crooks

[IcyPeas]

18. how many were profiting from this scam.... Jason Miller for one... $35,000 per month

A former senior 2020 campaign official told me that Kushner also told Brad Parscale to have the campaign secretly pay top strategist Jason Miller $35,000 a month through a company that was handling video production
