What did Brad Parscale know and when did he know it? On Sunday, Trump’s former campaign manager was hospitalized in Florida after threatening self-harm. [Editor’s note: South Flordia Sun-Sentinel continues to update this story, which now may involve a domestic dispute.]

Back in July, Max Ufberg wrote about “Parscale’s Wager” in the Trump Corruption Index, in which the former campaign manager was named in a complaint to the Federal Election Commission. The complaint alleged that Parscale funneled $170 million in campaign funds through shell companies, “potentially allowing the Trump team to shield indirect payments to its own staffers and their associates.” This is, to say the very least, quite the violation of the Federal Campaign Act.
