Trump's Michigan Visit Sparks Campaign Finance Firestorm
Democratic Lawyer Raises Concerns Over Trump's Michigan Visit
A Democratic lawyer has raised concerns about the legality of former President Donald Trump's upcoming visit to Michigan. The lawyer, Mark Brewer, alleges that Trump's visit violates campaign finance laws because it is being organized by a political action committee (PAC) that is not registered with the state of Michigan.
Brewer argues that the PAC, which is called Trump Save America, is essentially acting as a campaign committee for Trump, even though it is not registered as such. This, he says, violates Michigan law, which requires all campaign committees to register with the state and disclose their donors.
Brewer has filed a complaint with the Michigan Secretary of State, asking for an investigation into the matter. He is also asking the Secretary of State to order Trump to stop holding rallies in Michigan until the PAC is properly registered.
The Trump campaign has not yet responded to Brewer's allegations. However, a spokesperson for the Michigan Republican Party has dismissed them as frivolous. The spokesperson said that the PAC is not a campaign committee and that Trump is not a candidate for office.
It is unclear whether Brewer's complaint will be successful. However, it is likely to raise questions about the legality of Trump's upcoming visit to Michigan.
