Trump Campaign's $15M Payment to Mystery Firm Raises Transparency Concerns

Launchpad Strategies, a newly formed LLC, has received significant funds from Trump's campaign, with little information on its operations or ownership.

• Launchpad Strategies was incorporated less than a year ago and has received $15 million from Trump's election fundraising efforts.
• The firm's website claims it provides online advertising, digital consulting, and fundraising, but lacks detailed information about its staff or ownership.
• Campaign finance experts suggest the Trump campaign uses secretive businesses like Launchpad to obscure spending details from the public.
• Over the past nine years, more than $876 million has flowed through Trump's campaigns to six limited liability companies, including Launchpad Strategies.
• The Federal Election Commission's internal divisions have stalled investigations into potential campaign finance violations related to these payments.
