A former Donald Trump campaign staffer says in response to a Trump lawsuit against him that the campaign may have broken laws against mingling corporate and campaign funds.
Sam Nunberg, in a legal answer to a $10 million lawsuit claiming Nunberg violated a confidentiality agreement, said Trump may have illegally funneled corporate money into the campaign, and created a fictitious company that was listed as a plaintiff in the lawsuit.
Nunberg was fired from Trump’s presidential campaign last summer, after it was revealed that he had posted racist messages on Facebook. Trump’s lawsuit against him, made public on Wednesday, claims Nunberg in May told the New York Post about a public screaming match between two top Trump staffers: campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks, and Trump’s then-campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski. Nunberg vehemently denies leaking the story. Samuel Nunberg
At the time of the argument between Hicks and Lewandowski, Nunberg hadn’t been involved with Trump’s campaign for more than 10 months.
Nunberg says in his answer to the lawsuit that the Trump campaign illegally created a fictitious company, called Trump 2012 PCA. The company is listed as a plaintiff in the suit against Nunberg, along with Trump’s formal campaign. Samuel Nunberg
Nunberg also claims the campaign “may very well” have violated campaign finance laws by using Trump company resources for Trump’s political campaign. Samuel Nunberg
News of the lawsuit and response upstaged Trump’s search for a running mate, according to a source close to the campaign, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
“This is happening on the worst possible day for him,” said the adviser, who added that Trump disregarded advice not to file the lawsuit in the first place.

It's not the facts that count - it's the seriousness of the charge.....notice how they cadge it in the "coulda" realm instead of making an outright claim? Trying to protect their legal asses by leaving in a little deniability.
Nunberg is now over with the Cruz Crazies. Cruz is like a bad stench that you can’t get rid of no matter how many times you shower.
Huffpo is the democrat equivalent of World Net Daily right?
Bill and Hillary set up a fake foundation
When you employ people, inevitably some of those relationships are not going to work out. You are going to have to fire some. A subset of those will become very bitter and devote their lives to seeking revenge.
Bottom line: Don’t ever employ anyone.
LOL
Seeing that the Trumps have employed tens of thousands. One is not a bad percentage.
My first guess is this dork put the moves on Hope. She rebuked him. When he didn’t take the hint another stepped in — Maybe Corey
The msm had the cops killings last week to provide cover for Hellary. This week, they have this disgruntled ex employee. Next week, it’ll be the poor oppressed BLM at the convention and what an awful choice the VP is. The week after, they’ll be back whining about Russia or Israel. Anything to keep their queen off the front page.
It was Trump money, he can spend as he want. In General, he had to be extra careful, because he will be using public money.
The Huff Po basically, if you visited the link, just quoted from the lawsuit.
“May Have”. That is a way to slander.
Those postings were old, though. My point in posting this was really if anyone had any info on why Trump would get into a legal fight with this guy now. Trump initiated the lawsuit. The article and articles from other publications seems to indicate that it was over a fight that Hope/Corey had which was months after this guy left campaign. That just doesn’t make sense to me.
I would agree, but the only reason this came out is because Trump filed the lawsuit. I’m confused as to why he filed it because the reason specified isn’t making sense to me.
See I still don’t get it. No one heard of the affair rumor until Trump filed the lawsuit. As far as the fight, that happened 10 months after Nunberg left the campaign. It doesn’t seem to match the $10 million lawsuit.
True, but Trump filed it, so that’s how it got out there. The reason specified to me isn’t making sense.
Apparently Trump heard about it. If Trump heard about it others most likely heard about it. Perhaps it just flew under our radar?
