EXCLUSIVE: The Trump campaign is investigating campaign spending, Parscale contracts

Source: Business Insider

President Donald Trump's reelection campaign is conducting an internal review of spending irregularities overseen by Brad Parscale, its recently demoted 2020 campaign manager, Insider has learned.

Jeff DeWit, an accountant and former chief financial officer of NASA who recently joined the Trump 2020 effort as its chief operating officer, confirmed in an interview Friday that he was reviewing all campaign contracts and examining all spending.

While DeWit said the review wasn't specifically focused on Parscale, other Republicans familiar with the effort said it inherently homes in on the top Trump aide because he controlled all campaign spending, from polling and advertising to voter surveys, during a tenure that started in January 2017.

"We want an effective and efficient organization, and we're certainly not targeting anybody," DeWit told Insider. "We don't like to see a single dollar fly out of the campaign without knowing where it's going."

to try to smear some of Trump's and the campaign's corruption off on the "bad apple".

Can see it now, the campaign and Donnie will be shocked at what Brad did all on his own...(wink, wink)

Brad will suddenly become someone the Pig barely knew existed.

Trump uses as a piggy-bank? Spending irregularities must be the same as cooking the books.

It has everything to do with destroying Parscale's life because Trump's numbers are going in the wrong direction.

He made a bunch of money on one of Don’s grifts - nobody gets in the way of the con. Oh - and he’s diddling Hope Hicks - Donny’s little tug job fantasy.
