    The subpoena requests documents related to the committee’s donors and spending, according to the Journal, which said it had viewed a copy of the subpoena.

    In December, the newspaper reported that federal prosecutors were investigating whether the inaugural committee misspent some of the record $107 million it had raised from donors.

    The investigation is examining whether some of the committee’s donors gave money in exchange for policy concessions, influencing administration positions or access to the incoming administration, the Journal reported.

    A spokeswoman for the committee told the newspaper in a statement: “We have just received a subpoena for documents. While we are still reviewing the subpoena, it is our intention to cooperate with the inquiry.”

    It’s about time!

    TRump and his criminal associates spent double than the Obama inauguration cost. Spent more for less. Scam artists. What a deal!

    Even though Spicer lied in his first presser … the 2017 crowds were smaller. (Even in the first week of the TRump regime, Don the Con was covering up for his cronies.)

    Remember the parties that the Russians attended? And the meetings soon afterward? So happy!

    Remember the hundred$ of thousand$ that foreign interests paid for the inauguration? And then they got access to the POTUS!!

    Remember that Melanoma’s best friend got million$ for ‘consulting’ and ‘party planning’ … but did no planning, only partying?

    Even the Maytag guy would be proud of the money laundering that the inauguration party organization did. Wash, dry, iron and put it away. Far away.

    Organization = American Mafia. TRump organization = TRump is the Gdfather. Donald (Corleone) TRump: “Do I have your loyalty?”

    This part of the investigation is not a big deal. No one gets prosecuted for this stuff unless you can prove that people paid for the inauguration in exchange for access to the white house.

    Other web site gives more details. They claim that one person in particular is singled out by name – Los Angeles venture capitalist Imaad Zuberi. He had previously donated (only) to Democrats in the election in question:

    “In the 2016 election, he gave more than $615,000 to a joint fundraising committee between Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic Party, records show. Four years earlier, he had contributed more than $77,000 to a committee raising funds for Obama’s re-election and the party.”

    “Internal Democratic emails released by WikiLeaks in October 2016 show that Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta met with Zuberi in September 2015 to thank him for his support of Clinton.”

    Yet I find no report that he was investigated for that.
