Oh No. Who Could Have Guessed?
CBS News is reporting a *possible* pay-to-pay scheme involving the Ambassador to the Bahamas. Did the guy buy his post?
Doug Manchester a California developer donated a million dollars to Trump’s inauguration fund and then, while his conformation was stalled in committee, he was asked by the RNC to donate half a million dollars to the RNC prior to his conformation hearing. So, Manchester replied to the RNC that his wife would donate $100,000 immediately and then when his name to be ambassador got the House floor for a vote, he would get the remaining $400,000 from his family.
Draining the swamp?
Once all this was discovered, Trump dropped his nomination.
When asked about it, Manchester explained, “Hey, that’s politics.”
