West Virginia AG Patrick Morrisey’s PAC among the recipients of campaign money from the two “friends” of Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who were arrested today
Nothing on our local Ogden papers’ web page but the Charleston Gazette-Mail’s Jake Zukerman and WV Public’s Dave Mistich are covering it
From the Charleston Gazette-Mail:
Two associates of President Donald Trump’s personal attorney have been arrested on charges that they schemed to skirt election laws and funnel foreign money to US politicians, including a PAC that solely exists to support WV AG Patrick Morrisey. https://t.co/luQMWBqtfa

From WV Public Broadcasting:
The indictment of Rudy Giuliani's associates has a connection to West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey. . . .
Campaign finance records show Global Energy Producers gave $15,000 on May 3, 2018 to 35th Inc. -- an independent expenditure that took aim at Morrisey’s opponents for U.S. Senate.
Morrisey won the Republican nomination just days later -- but lost in the general election to incumbent Democrat Joe Manchin.
According to Mistich:
Through a spokesman, Morrisey declined to comment on the donation to the political action committee that spent money on his race.
“35th Inc. PAC is an independent entity, and any questions should be directed to them,” Morrisey spokesman Brian O’Neel said in an email to West Virginia Public Broadcasting.
At 9 PM, our local Ogden papers have nothing up on their webpage.
