Former President Donald Trump’s Save America PAC raised tens of millions of dollars on false claims of election fraud. Now the feds want to know how it was spent.

The report found that multiple former Trump staffers—including one of his Jan. 6 speechwriters, Ross Worthington—appear as officers on a company called Pericles LLC, which was formed on Jan. 27, 2021, the day after Scavino’s company popped up.
