Missouri PAC Accused Of Raising Money Using Donald Trump’s Name

A Missouri newspaper is reporting Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign sent cease-and-desist letters to groups fundraising for gubernatorial candidate Bill Eigel.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports his political action committee solicited supporters, asking them to support the former president, but instead, donations went to Eigel’s campaign.

Eigel tells Missourinet that he cannot comment on outside organizations, but he’s focused on his campaign.

Missourinet contacted the PAC, but the group has not responded yet. Eigel faces off against Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft and Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe (key-hoe) for the Republican nomination for governor.
