In case you missed it, be sure to check out writer Roger Sollenberger’s article at the website Salon about former North Carolina congressman and Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, entitled “New filing suggests Mark Meadows under investigation for campaign finance violations – Former Trump chief in jeopardy: Watchdog group filed complaint against Meadows in October, based on Salon’s report.” As Sollenberger explains: A year-end federal filing from former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows shows legal expenses that experts say indicate it is “highly likely” the North Carolina Republican is under scrutiny for campaign finance violations. In October, the nonprofit government watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) requesting an investigation into Meadows, based on a Salon report that detailed a series of apparent violations of the prohibition on using campaign funds for personal expenses. Those payments covered gourmet cupcakes, grocery store purchases, a cell phone bill, posh meals and lodging at Donald Trump’s Washington hotel, according to filings with the FEC. Meadows’ campaign also spent thousands of dollars on “printed materials” at an upscale Washington-area custom jeweler on the day he left Congress for the White House. (The jewelry retailer has said it sells nothing that could be categorized that way.)
