SCOOP: The FBI is investigating the Urban Revitalization Coalition, a now defunct nonprofit run by Trump campaign official Pastor Darrell Scott, based in part on my reporting in @Salon this September of soliciting funds from Turkish investors.

It was O'Keefe or some other conservative gremlin who tried to set up a sting against a Democratic candidate by having a Canadian national try to buy some campaign merchandise. They're accepting money from foreigners! That's illegal! Aaaaaaahhhhh! Unfortunately, O'Keefe (or whoever) was badly outwitted and the footage never quite delivered on the alarmist click-bait title.

But as usual, what conservatives baselessly accuse Democrats of doing, they're doing themselves.
