House Democrats subpoena Energy Secretary Rick Perry for key documents regarding Trump's contacts with Ukraine
US attorney says an alleged illegal $325,000 donation from Giuliani associates was "one of the largest" to pro-Trump groupUS attorney Geoffrey Berman said during a press conference today that the $325,000 donation Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman — two Giuliani associates charged with federal campaign finance violations — made to"committee-1" in spring 2018 was"one of the largest" donations it had received.
CNN has identified that committee as America First Action. It's now chaired by Linda McMahon, the former head of the Small Business Administration who left the White House to join the super PAC this spring. Multiple other former administration officials also work there, including Sean Spicer and Kelly Sadler.
While Sadler issued a statement earlier today saying they moved that six-figure donation to a segregated account, they are now declining to say when they did so. The donation has not been used and “will remain in this segregated account until these matters are resolved,” the group said.“In May 2018, America First Action received a $325,000 contribution and donor form from Global Energy Producers.
