A former senior aide to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Rand Paul was indicted this month for allegedly funneling $25,000 from a wealthy, unnamed Russian to former President Trump's reelection efforts.
The big picture: The Justice Department alleges that Jesse Benton, 43, the husband of Paul's niece and a veteran Republican staffer, orchestrated a scheme to conceal the illegal foreign donation with another GOP operative, Doug Wead.
@5 Grand is all they could find. Someone has to get new glasses and learn to read.
Putin funneled 61 million to trump via the nra during the 2016 election... Trump in turn gave cash to republican senate and congressional candidates.... Im sure he let them know the source... Thats a felony .... Perhaps this is why they kiss his orange ass so much
