The request came about 2 weeks ago from top lawyers working for fmr personal #Trump atty DAG #ToddBlanche. They “asked” the #FBI to initiate “investigations” into whether money obtained illegally for organizations, such as #FoodAssistance #charities & home #healthcare centers, went to the campaigns, acc/to the source.
