Karoline Leavitt, currently the White House Press Secretary, is involved in a controversy over concealing nearly $300,000 in campaign debt from her unsuccessful 2022 congressional campaign. A report from NOTUS details that after joining Trump’s 2024 campaign, her team amended 17 financial reports, revealing much higher debt than previously reported, some of which included illegal donations. These amendments came after her appointment in the Trump administration. About two-thirds of this debt stemmed from the need to refund donors who had exceeded legal contribution limits, refunds that reportedly have yet to be made. End Citizens United accused her campaign of accepting donations over the legal limit, with a spokesperson emphasizing the potential for ethical conflicts as Leavitt continues fundraising efforts to cover this debt.
