I doubt much that this is true. First, these companies deal with payments all the time and I imagine they know what they are doing. Secondly, they put this money where it was best for themselves and their companies. They did not want to incur the rath of this administration. Smell like a cover story

Wire fraud is a felony in both Federal law and in every State in the union, isn't it? I want to see several perp walks, and building the cases can start NOW!

PBS A CAPITOL FOURTH On the Capitol West Lawn Was not part of Trump's Freedom 250 Packed with happy people They had Kool & The Gang Chicago Alan Jackson Patti LaBelle Trace Adkins Gary Sinese The Artemis Astronauts Team USA National Symphony Orchestra & more Plus Fireworks from Mt Vernon

We must see this crime-ridden administration ended. To do that the House should look to history and Joseph G. "Uncle Joe" Cannon. He was not a servile POS like Mike Johnson but his reign as Speaker was ended so as to make the House a functioning body again. Is there a George W. Norris in our House?

WaPo is paywalled, but "third party thinks some supporters may have been confused" is thin. Are sponsors who made a mistake and sent money to the wrong organization named? Those sponsors have a cause of action for fraud, but somehow I doubt any claims of deception will be made by sponsors.

Corporate sponsors of Trump’s Freedom 250 hijack of America’s birthday. WSJ reported that some corporate executives may have been “confused” by the Trump group’s hijack: bsky.app/profile/bill...

How is it "America First" when every item people need is always last? "We have wars! We can't afford to take care of people's health, food, childcare!" Well, for way less money, Dems did it.

If they were that easily confused, their BODs might want to look into replacing those executives with less easily confused leadership for those multi-million (or multi-billion) dollar businesses.

Trump corruption is an in-your-face MAGA weak point that EVERYBODY, including Rs understand. Don’t gloss it over, don’t call it anything less than what it is, it is so pervasive in this Regime it can fuel a movement to throw the bums out!

Crazy and completely unsurprising. Since nothing of consequence is likely to happen I guess we'll just have to enjoy the fact that the Trump 250 shit is all failing spectacularly.

Just wondering, for a friend - if those people have the bank routing and account numbers, could they not use that info to transfer money back to their own accounts? Maybe with “extra fees”? 😏 I know, I know… just daydreaming.

Dude is straight up a thief. I'm so happy to see his MAGA followers giving their hard earned money to this clown and getting nothing in return. This is what blind loyalty in the name of hate and racism gets you. No Vaseline! ✌🏽

That’s how Stump conducts business. Shady ripoff to get his hands on other people’s money. He’s lived his life being a creepy pedo and grifter. It runs in the family and gets worth with each generation!

All donors should reach out to their Credit Card Issuers and dispute the transaction as fraud. You have 30 days...do it and FUCK THESE ASSHOLES for stealing from Americans!

This year, I’m not celebrating the Fourth of July. I’m simply not in the mood. At what point does enough become enough? Is there any limit to Trump’s conflicts of interest and self-enrichment? It doesn’t feel like the America we should be celebrating.

My little town (located in one of the original 13 colonies) is 382 years old. I’m gonna wait a few years and celebrate our 385th anniversary. 🇺🇸💙 The current event seems to celebrate division and a racist movement instead of what our Constitution intended. 💔
