WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump's political action committee donated $1 million to the conservative nonprofit organization where his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, is a senior partner, according to a campaign finance report filed Monday night with the Federal Election Commission.

In December, the House voted to recommend that the Justice Department pursue contempt of Congress charges against Meadows over his refusal to cooperate with an investigation into the Trump-inspired Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The tax-deductible seven-figure contribution to the Conservative Partnership Institute is by far the largest chunk of $1.35 million in donations Trump's "Save America" PAC made to political allies over the last six months of 2021, according to the campaign finance report.

Trump's PAC gave to 69 candidates for federal and state offices, many of whom have embraced his lie that he was defrauded in the 2020 presidential election. He lost to President Joe Biden by an electoral vote rally of 306 to 232 — and by more than 7 million raw votes.

1. These fucking coup plotters and enablers should all be in prison

That is all

[brush]

2. Hush money? TFG certainly has a history of doing that.

7. The payment to Meadows kinda sticks out

[brush]

8. Hmmmm? Every other contribution is a few thousand. But the...

one to Meadows is for a cool million. Wonder why? Is that why Meadows was at first willing to comply with the House J6 Committee then suddenly change his mind and clammed up?

3. Oh, come on, that's nothing. Donny's well known for his generous philanthropy.

Do I really need this?

[oasis]

4. Trump is donating 1M while the GOP pays 1.6M for his legal bills. Lovely.

[Nevilledog]

5. That money's not coming from Trump personally. He's doling out some of the grift.

[oasis]

6. GQP zombies won't ask why TFG's grift money isn't used for his defense.

Alrighty then.
