President
Donald Trump’s campaign manager is
quietly channeling money to
Eric Trump’s wife,
Lara Trump, and
Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend,
Kimberly Guilfoyle, The New York Times reported Monday.
The payments are hidden from public view because they’re made through campaign manager Brad Parscale’s private company, Parscale Strategy, based in San Antonio, sources told the Times. Typically, such payments would be part of public filings required by the
Federal Election Commission so that donors can find out how their contributions are being used — in this case, to pay members of the president’s family.
The family benefits are linked to a network of politically connected private companies — operating with the support and help of Trump son-in-law
Jared Kushner — that have charged roughly $75 million since 2017 to the Trump reelection campaign, the
Republican National Committee and other Republican clients, according to the Times.
Guilfoyle last year angrily confronted Parscale about late checks owed to her, two witnesses told the Times. He reportedly promised that the situation would be rectified by his wife, Candice Parscale, who often handles his company accounts.
