How I understand the National Enquirer involvement

[speak easy]

25. Federal Election Law

Generally, FECA requires organizations making
independent expenditures that aggregate more than $250 in
a calendar year to disclose, on a quarterly basis, (1) whether
an independent expenditure supports or opposes a
candidate, (2) under penalty of perjury, certification as to
whether it was made independently of a campaign, and (3)
the identity of each person who contributed more than $200
to the organization “for the purpose of furthering an
independent expenditure.” In addition, up to 20 days before
an election, an organization must file a report each time it
spends at least $10,000 on independent expenditures
relating to that election, within 48 hours of incurring the
cost of the expenditure. Less than 20 days before an
election, an organization must file a report each time it
spends.
