(TheRedWire.com) – The Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings have revealed that a political action committee had paid former first lady Melania Trump’s former personal stylist $108,000 in the first half of 2023. Since 2022 the stylist has received over $260,000.
The Save America PAC, one of the many PACs contributing to former president Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, released a half-year report of all the disbursements made in the past year. In the itemized list Hervé Pierre Braillard, a French-American fashion designer, gave at the start of each month $18,000 for six months straight.
The FEC filings from 2022 also show that Braillard had received ten payments totaling $152,500. All but one of these disbursements had the service provided as strategy consulting. Braillard and Melania Trump’s team have revealed that following their cooperation while Melania Trump was in the White House, they have continued to cooperate in several projects, with Braillard acting as a consultant.
Leadership PACs such as the Save America PAC can make unlimited payments on behalf of political candidates. This can be particularly useful in cases such as Trump’s, as he faces many legal troubles requiring him to pay high legal fees.
From the start of 2023, Trump’s personal campaign had received $32 million, while the Save America PAC has received half of that. The Associated Press has revealed that Trump has used approximately $25 million in many legal battles, including his two indictments last year.
