Spike in GOP Small-Dollar Donations Draws Federal Scrutiny
The campaign for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) says it received $3.5 million this year in small-dollar contributions—so small, in fact, that the campaign doesn’t even need to reveal its donors.
The Federal Election Commission, however, is skeptical.
Last week, the FEC asked the Greene campaign to check its books and make sure those numbers were right—did it really raise nearly 80 percent of its money this year from small-dollar donors? If the past is any precedent, all the campaign will need to do is say yes, and that will be it.
