“… The new lawsuit, reported by BuzzFeed court and justice reporter Zoe Tillman, mentions the word “Trump” thirty-five times.

“Plaintiff’s complaints demonstrate that the National Rifle Association (“NRA”) violated the Federal Election Campaign Act by using a complex network of shell corporations to unlawfully coordinate expenditures with the campaigns of at least seven candidates for federal office, thereby making millions of dollars of illegal, unreported, and excessive in-kind contributions, including up to $25 million in illegal contributions to now President Donald J. Trump,” the lawsuit charged. …”

Here’s an illustration in the complaint about how the alleged scheme worked: The plaintiffs claim the NRA and candidates each hired shell entities that were actually the same company, and that this is the type of “coordinated communication” subject to campaign finance limits pic.twitter.com/tAHtGswGrU
