The Federal Election Commission has given the campaign of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) until October 12 to provide clarification about $3.5 million in campaign contributions it received during the first half of 2021.
In two filings posted to the FEC website on Monday and surfaced onby Georgia Public Broadcasting reporter Stephen Fowler on Tuesday, the congresswoman's husband Perry Greene—her campaign treasurer— was asked to provide additional details about donations the campaign received during the first two quarters of 2021.
Between January and March, the Greene campaign received $2,558,631.61 in unitemized donations from undisclosed donors, while the campaign received another $967,045.73 in unitemized donations between April and June. The campaign reported a total of more than $4.5 million in donations during the same time period.
Candidates are not legally obliged to itemize donations or disclose the identity of their donors for contributions that total under $200 during an election cycle. For donations that do need to be itemized, campaigns must supply details including the name of the donor, the donor's address, occupation, employer and the date of the donation must be provided.
The FEC has given the Greene campaign until October 12 to provide clarification about the $3.5 million. To comply with FEC rules, the campaign must either provide information about the donors or show that the money came from small donors only—from at least 17,630 different individuals contributing no more than $199.99 each. Since the campaign has received a high volume of donations this year, it could have easily raised the $3.5 million strictly through small donations.
The Federal Election Commission has asked the campaign of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for more information on $3.5 million it received during the first six months of 2021. Greene is pictured during a news conference in Washington, D.C. on July 27, 2021.
