Questions are swirling around the source of a nearly-quarter million dollar speaking fee former First Lady Melania Trump received for appearing at a campaign event hosted by the Log Cabin Republicans.
Virginia Canter, the chief ethics counsel, expressed concerns regarding the payment's disclosure, stating that without identifying the source, it’s impossible to assess conflicts of interest or compliance with rules.
Defenders of Mrs. Trump insist that it is her prerogative to support her husband's campaign in whatever capacity she sees fit, despite the controversy surrounding the payment.
The Trump campaign's financial disclosure reveals Melania Trump received $237,500 for a speaking event, while another payment of $250,000 occurred for a Log Cabin Republican event in December.
