The Daily Beast Podcast · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Politico reports MAGA Inc. started September with more than $415 million in cash on hand, close to the claimed $400 million.[1]
Supports. Through August, MAGA Inc. had taken in $424.4 million and paid out $32.4 million, consistent with roughly $400 million on hand in early September.[2]
Context. The money sits in MAGA Inc., a super PAC operated by donors aligned with the president, not in Trump's personal accounts; the claim's wording is looser than that.[3]
Context. By Oct. 14, MAGA Inc. still held $164.3 million in cash after spending about $300 million, a later development that does not change the early-September state.[4]
