In case anyone was wondering where their "Stop the Steal" donations were going.

Former President Donald Trump has shifted money raised from campaign donors into the Trump Organization, according to documents from the Federal Election Committee (FEC) seen by Forbes.

He moved around $2.8 million into his private businesses throughout the duration of his presidency, Forbes's Dan Alexander reported.

Trump funneled an additional $81,000 into the Trump Organization after his election loss, the magazine said.

The payments were made public in the filings the campaign submitted to the FEC and were listed to cover costs including rent, airfare, lodging, and other expenses.

One of the campaign's joint-fundraising committees, associated with the Republican Party, also moved an estimated $4.3 million of donor money into his private business during his presidential term, according to Forbes.

The joint-fundraising committee also paid around $300,000 towards Trump's hotel chain in the week following the former president's election loss, the Independent reported.

Around $40,000 was handed over from the campaign to Trump Tower Commercial LLC, a company which the former president owns a stake in, in December, the paper said.

This isn't the first time it has been reported that Trump transferred campaign money to his private businesses.

In July, The Washington Post's David Fahrenthold reported that Trump's campaign sent nearly $400,000 to the Trump Organization in just two days.

Documents showed that the campaign channeled $380,000 to the president's personal business in 43 transactions, Fahrenthold said.

This comes when the former president is said to be looking for ways to cash in on his post-presidency to address potentially huge debt.

The Trump Organization owes $400 million, according to Forbes.

No we were just wondering when someone in law enforcement was going to donate a set of handcuffs and a free extended stay room at The Gray Bar Inn for at least one person involved with the Russia Collusion Coup attempt or the 2020 Election Coup success.

Lol. So at worst, repaying campaign debt which came in the form of personal loans to his own campaign.

In any event, don't care because it's a full 100% certainty that the article is manipulative garbage, to put it nicely.

How about Obamas three week annual trips to Hawaii or vacations in Martha Vinyard.

Do we know the purpose of these fund transfers. Perhaps the Trump organization had rented out space for the Trump campaign? There are perfectly legitimate reasons for this.

Trump loaned his campaign money and was paying it back. Nothing to see here.

How evil is it that these people know precisely what this is all about and the kosher nature of it, yet put out this propaganda regardless?

Wonder if they might wanna report that Hillary was using 2016 campaign funds to repay 2008 campaign debt? Because she was. And ya know what? It really isn't even inappropriate, tbh. Bastards.

You fricking cocksucker, those amounts are NOTHING and are a drop in the bucket to the expenses he incurred and money he rasied for that matter.
