The donor, identified only as “Alex, A” on Trump’s campaign finance report, gave nearly $5,000 spread across more than 40 separate transactions last year.

The donations fit a pattern for Trump, who has in the past exhibited indifference toward campaign finance rules and used his presidential powers to assist those facing legal trouble in such matters.In January, Trump’s Justice Department dropped its case against former Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, a Nebraska Republican accused of

from a Nigerian billionaire. During his first term, Trump pardoned conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza and Republican donor Michael Liberty, who were both convicted of using straw donors to evade contribution limits. He also pardoned former California Rep. Duncan Hunter, who was convicted in 2020 of stealing $250,000 from his campaign fund.Trump’s political efforts have also drawn contributions from straw donors and foreigners who have subjected to legal scrutiny.
