Watchdog: Meadows Benefits From “Legal Slush Fund”

Law & Crime reports:

Conservative nonprofits improperly used slush funds to pay former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows‘ legal bills, according to a complaint filed by a public corruption watchdog.

On Wednesday, Accountable.US submitted a five-page letter with the Washington D.C. Attorney General’s Office alleging that in 2022, two conservative 501(c)(3) groups moved roughly $1.1 million around in order to evade accountability for their spending and other related subterfuge to “mask the true beneficiary of the funds.”

The complaint aims to have both the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) and Personnel Policy Operations (PPO) lose their nonprofit statuses. Holding the title of “senior partner,” Meadows received a total compensation of $846,887 in 2022, according to the complaint.
