Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating whether President Trumps 2017 inaugural committee misspent some of the record $107 million it raised from donations, people familiar with the matter said.
The criminal probe by the Manhattan U.S. attorneys office, which is in its early stages, also is examining whether some of the committees top donors gave money in exchange for access to the incoming Trump administration, policy concessions or to influence official administration positions, some of the people said.
Giving money in exchange for political favors could run afoul of federal corruption laws. Diverting funds from the organization, which was registered as a nonprofit, could also violate federal law.

The plan is to drive the President’s approval to the 30’s, impeach, with the ultimate goal to get a willing Senate to believe they have nothing to lose by convicting him.
You sir are absolutely correct. The rat party is certifiable.
Doing this to him, is doing this to us. They don’t just hate him. They hate us - and truly ‘hate’ is the correct word for what drives them. It’s true that Trump is just the person in the middle at this point. The real target is everyone who disagrees with them and who poses a threat to their agenda. There are plenty on the left who would be comfortable with eradicating us.
Just put a hyphen between the “O”s and no-one can gripe at you about it < BG >
The meeting was about the purchase of fighter jets and when the deal was approved by the State Department the Prince donated another 12 million bucks to the Clinton Foundation
This is public knowledge and yet there has been no investigation of Hillary Clinton or the Clinton Foundation for bribery or pay to play
Wolverines!
An the hundreds of millions Hillary gave out favors for?
All in where is Pinochet when you need him? Must go full Hutu to save our country no other possibility
I know this is peanuts but it is comparable. Look at the Heisman winner being ambushed 2 hours after winning the award. Bringing up something from when he was 14. You are right they want not only Trump but all of us.
#2. Gee look at Pritzker from Chicago, the new Governor. Bought himself the job through through the Obama political network just as his wife (if it is Penny) got herself an ambassadorship to Europe with her money, among other things.
Automatically assume that if they are a major Democrat politician in Chicago, they paid off someone to get their office.
Gee, how many Democrat sleazebags paid the Clintons mucho dineiro to sleep in the Lincoln Room at the White House? How about the Clinton ambassadorships, the Red Chinese money from Buddhist/Confuscian nuns (calling Al Gore), etc?
Oh, by the way, under today’s corrupt Democrat mentally ill thinking, Ted Kennedy’s payments to the Mary Jo Kopechne family would fall under “illegal campaign finance expenses” because if they talked, they would have destroyed his political career and presidential aspirations.
However,he kept his Senate seat unchallenged until his death. The Kopechne payoff was chump change for that when he should have been in jail for Mary Jo’s death.
Everyone who ever came withing 50 miles of Trump or said a good word about him is likely under some sort of criminal investigation by federal prosecutors...
