Here is the 990 for Marble Freedom Trust, which states that the $1.6B came from the “sale of gifted company and subsidiaries,” but does not name the company or donor, indicating that identifying information was withheld “to protect donor confidentiality.” https://t.co/thcZx7XcBY — PolitiTweet.org

The $1.6B gift was unusual for more than just the size. BARRE SEID, a low-profile donor, transferred ownership of his electric device co. (@TrippLite) to Marble Freedom Trust. Marble then sold TRIPP LITE, & reaped the proceeds. Neither Seid nor Marble paid taxes on the sale. — PolitiTweet.org

SCOOP: A new conservative 501c4 group run by LEONARD LEO received $1.6B last year — likely the biggest single political donation. MARBLE FREEDOM TRUST is part of a network that backs conservative judges & voter ID; opposes abortion rights & climate rules. https://t.co/OUnpjLBV1d — PolitiTweet.org

It's important to note, of course, that while Rudy may be in the clear in the long-running FARA investigation, investigations into his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results are intensifying. https://t.co/eFZUMPXLD1 — PolitiTweet.org

Ukrainian oligarch DMITRY FIRTASH's firm funded RUDY GIULIANI's luxury travel while he was digging for dirt on the BIDENS. SDNY looked into Rudy's ties to Firtash & Ukraine's top prosecutor YURIY LUTSENKO. But SDNY is unlikely to charge Rudy under FARA. https://t.co/hNV1Dm9ehu — PolitiTweet.org

JIM CLYBURN introduced a bill last year that smoothed the way for the new casino. He said he didn’t know about his brother’s financial interest in it & doesn't care about it. "He gets to make a living. I don’t get his permission, & I don’t give him mine” https://t.co/mxRklyol7n — PolitiTweet.org

As backers of a N.C. tribal casino project were seeking federal approval for the project, a company involved in it gave shares to politically connected people, including: ➡️ @WhipClyburn's brother ➡️ @NikkiHaley's husband ➡️ Biden insider @PattiSolisDoyle https://t.co/mxRklyol7n — PolitiTweet.org
