The news comes a day before Trump’s promised announcement, which should come from his Florida mansion, with rumors that he will clear doubts about his possible re-election in the 2024 presidential election.
With this complaint, the Campaign Legal Center movement wants the federal election authorities to investigate the transfer of $20 million (about 19,500 million euros) between two Trump-linked organizations, believing the money is intended to sponsor the former’s efforts. The president’s return to the White House.
The money was allegedly transferred from Trump’s Political Action Committee (PAC), entitled Save America, to MAGA Inc. , registered as an independent political structure (Super PAC) with the electoral authorities, although it is also associated with the former president.
The PAC coordinates the activities of the candidate’s campaign, but their spending is regulated, while the Super PAC is a fundraising organization that can collect donations from individuals, companies and unions, and can spend unlimited amounts of money.
Under current regulations, federal candidates can collect no more than $2,900 (about 2,800 euros) from an individual donor or $5,000 (about 4,850 euros) from a PAC in a primary or general election, as well as bar candidates for coordinating spending decisions with Super PACs.
In the complaint, the campaign’s legal center denounced the transfer of the former president’s main PAC to the Super PAC — with the intent of spending millions of dollars to influence elections, including Trump’s 2024 campaign — as a “blatant attempt.” Restrictions on federal funding, which the organization considers “critical” to prevent acts of corruption.
