A series of filing anomalies point to a Donald Trump camp that is either unaware of campaign finance law, or is actively funneling donors' cash to insiders, according to several experts interviewed by CNBC.
These "red flags," as one expert deemed them, include a total lack of disclosure on which vendors staffers for the presumptive Republican nominee are paying, an "unusual" six-figure payout to campaign staff for nontaxable expenses and what appeared to be double reimbursements for some employees' expenses.
When asked about the apparently unusual filing practices, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in an email that "the report speaks for itself."
But experts said that message was not entirely clear, and at the very least broke with long-established protocols — something that would be entirely keeping in character for one of the most surprising campaigns in the modern era.
"In my view, the situation is significant if (what) we are seeing is a pattern that reflects serious problems with the campaign," Larry Noble, general counsel of the Campaign Legal Center who also worked for 13 years as Federal Election Commission general counsel, told CNBC. "If the report is speaking for itself, it's not saying anything coherent."

They can all go to hell.
“Raise red flags”
Well, there you go. Maybe James Comey should get involved.
Gosh, do you suppose they will INDICT the candidate???
Red flags green flags who cares what you think moron press.
Criminal Hillary over here.
Was there “intent”?
The Lefties never quit.
Nope not long at all. Anyone who thinks they are going to let Trump be prez.....has not been paying attention. The left will get help from those who are not voting for Trump. Sad day.
Hillary is now “Free and Clear” now all the energy that was being bottled up to go after Hillary will be unleashed on Trump....
Jam it, Lori Ann LaRocco, you Hillary Clinton @sslamprey.
Considering that Hillary just got away with selling this country out to whomever had access to her servers, this had better not be anything other than a yawn
I’ll bet the fbi doesn’t whitewash this one.
When the FBI starts worrying and calls Trump in for an ‘interview’ then I’ll worry... Oh wait, that doesn’t matter either...
James Comey has probably already discovered thousands of SERIOUS prosecutable charges in this matter, and is forwarding them to the Department of Jesters prosecutors as we type.
Next week, he'll get the actual facts...
He should have just emailed top-secret documents to them. Apparently that’s OK
Don’t get discouraged. That’s what they want us to do!
They've probably assigned thousands of agents to this already.
None of this matters now. This election now has only one issue: #ClintonPrivilege.
It’s okay. As with Hillary, there was no actual intent. ;-)
Thank goodness Trump didn’t INTEND to violate these new laws.....
