According to a stunning new report from Forbes, Trump-endorsed Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate, Kari Lake, has conveniently spent a whopping $108,000-plus at properties owned by… You guessed it, ex-President Donald Trump.
The publication is now reporting on a campaign report filed Friday that shows Kari Lake’s campaign dropping a staggering $18,000 at Mar-a-Lago for “event expenses,” in both April and May. A thorough analysis of federal and state campaign disclosures reveals that Lake’s campaign already serves as one of the Trump properties’ biggest spenders.
Conveniently enough Lake, a former news anchor of Fox’s Phoenix affiliate, was endorsed by ex-President Donald Trump personally back in September.
Forbes reports on the matter:
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and former football player Herschel Walker, who is running for the senate in Georgia, have also spent more than $100,000 of campaign money at Trump’s businesses. The former president endorsed them, too.
Voting in Arizona’s primary ends Aug. 2. Polling shows Lake with a single-digit lead over her nearest opponent.
Spokespeople for Lake and the Trump Organization did not respond to requests for comment.”

It seems “quid pro quo” has just become a personality trait for the washed-up, scandal-ridden, one-term, twice-impeached former guy.
