A company called WeSearchr said on Twitter that it paid for Shelton’s trip to the debate in St. Louis. That firm was co-founded by conservative media figure Charles C. Johnson, an outspoken Trump supporter.

There were actually news reports out this morning that claimed the Trump campaign paid for Shelton’s travel. Which means Chuck is lying about footing the bill or (more likely) Shelton scammed Chuck out of travel money she didn’t need.
