The statement continued: “Moreover, the inauguration’s accounting was provided both to the Federal Election Commission and the IRS in compliance with all laws and regulations. These were funds raised from private individuals and were then spent in accordance with the law and the expectations of the donors. The names of donors were provided to the FEC and have been public for nearly two years and those donors were vetted in accordance with the law and no improprieties have been found regarding the vetting of those donors.”
But the campaign’s inaugural funds have been scrutinized for months and no one quite knows how much of the money was spent and where the rest may have gone.
A year after the inauguration, the committee that raised the $106.7 million for the event still had not disclosed how much surplus money it still has or provided an accounting of its finances.

Then of course…give all those around Trump immunity and don’t ask Trump any questions under oath. Then, before you start the process, first write the exoneration letter.
