Winred is the company that Republicans use for fundraising, yes.
They had a default checkmark on the question about wanting the donation to be monthly reoccurring. You had to uncheck it to make it a one-time donation. I never had an issue but I read over it before finalizing my donations.
Trump still uses Winred both for purchases and donations. It’s still on there. https://secure.winred.com/save-america-joint-fundraising-committee/membership?location=djt_sa_header&_ga=2.149628528.758730219.1626302021-180878116.1614554444&exitintent=true
FBI Statement in Response to Inspector General Report
The FBI has provided the following statement in response to the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General report titled “Investigation and Review of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Handling of Allegations of Sexual Abuse by Former USA Gymnastics Physician Lawrence Gerard Nassar.”
As the Inspector General made clear in today’s report, this should not have happened. The FBI will never lose sight of the harm that Nassar’s abuse caused. The actions and inactions of certain FBI employees described in the report are inexcusable and a discredit to this organization. The FBI has taken affirmative steps to ensure and has confirmed that those responsible for the misconduct and breach of trust no longer work FBI matters.
Prior to today, the FBI initiated improvements to make sure that serious allegations, such as these, are promptly shared with our law enforcement partners and within the FBI. As a continuation of these efforts, the FBI is fully committed to implementing all of the recommendations made by the Inspector General.
We will take all necessary steps to ensure that the failures of the employees outlined in the report do not happen again.
WinRed makes a big mistake by having the default be a recurring donation. Anyone who misses this and fails to uncheck it, as I did on a couple of donations last fall, is quite unhappy with the RNC. The mails were so bad and my credit card statements came so late that several weeks had passed before I realized I was donating every week. I did get my money refunded but it was a hassle to do it.
