The Daily Beast's Roger Sollenberger, in an article published by the Daily Beast on January 19, examines the "dark money machine" of former President Donald Trump. According to Sollenberger, that operation is only getting worse — and is purposely designed to be "confusing."
"Just when it seemed like former President Donald Trump's dark money maze couldn't get any darker, it looks like someone shot the lights out," Sollenberger reports. "At least, that's the impression experts in nonprofit law took away from a pair of previously unreported tax filings from the dark money arm of Trump's political machine, America First Works. Those experts said it appears from the filings and other incorporation records that the advocacy group — which raised almost no money in 2021 — has closed down its original Virginia entity and opened another one in Washington, D.C. under the same name, with the same board of directors. The question is why — and it comes as Trumpworld is laying the groundwork for a second Trump term."
