Former President Trump’s reelection campaign reported paying $6,037 to a business owned by state Rep. Finchem while the lawmaker pushed for the Legislature to overturn Biden’s victory in Arizona. The campaign labeled the expense made on Dec. 18 as ’recount: legal consulting.’ Finchem said the payment was a reimbursement ’for crowd control and security costs’ at a meeting he convened.
Trump campaign pays a bill..what a bombshell
If you bother to read the article, the check was a reimbursement for security provided to a meeting with Giuliani and other members of the Trump team who visited... and the legislator organized the meeting. The mother Jones article frames it like it was a payoff, but covering an expense is totally appropriate.
