President Trump directed his reelection campaign to issue a blistering statement implicitly condemning a longtime political adviser who used Trump's name to raise millions of dollars for an unaffiliated political group, sources say
The President was"livid" when he found out the political group run by his former deputy campaign manager David Bossie was soliciting funds from Trump supporters and only spending a fraction on direct political activities. The statement did not directly call out Bossie, but condemned"any organization that deceptively uses the President's name, likeness, trademarks or branding and confuses voters," just two days after a report focused on Bossie's group.
4 million that the Presidential Coalition spent during that period, only 3% was spent on candidates, political committees or state and local ads supporting said candidates. The analysis by the Campaign Legal Center and Axios found that most of the money raised by Bossie's group, called the Presidential Coalition, went to more fundraising, largely direct mail and telemarketing. Nearly $660,000 went to two organizations also run by Bossie, Citizens United and Citizens United Foundation.
