the hackers manipulated invoices from four vendors who were being paid for direct mail for Trump’s reelection efforts as well as for pro-Trump material such as hats to be handed out to supporters. Invoices and other documents were altered so when the party paid them for the services rendered, the money went to the hackers instead of the vendors
So it looks like someone generated a fake invoice and possibly a different bank routing number and someone paid it.
The Trump family has been stealing huge amounts of money from their campaign, it's pretty obvious this is just more of the same. Where did all those billions in the re-election war chest go? Straight into their own pockets.
Once they lose this election, expect to see the Trumps flee the country with their ill-gotten gains. They will almost certainly go to Russia. And of course, the Trump cultists will make excuses for why their messiah was perfectly justified in doing so.

It's all part of their plan:
1. Run private businesses pre-election 2. Accept presidency 3. Expose corruption and cronyism 4. Invite politics into their private businesses (always great for business, ask Michael Jordan) 5. Have their private businesses smeared losing massive amounts globally 6. Donate his presidential salary 7. Steal relative peanuts from an election campaign 8. ??? 9. NEGATIVE PROFITS
Pelosi, Biden, Obama - all increased their wealth dramatically during their political careers. Magnitudes more than what their salaries can account for.
"Trump gave up his wealth to save our country. Biden gave up our country to obtain his wealth."
"Trump gave up his wealth to save our country.
Biden gave up our country to obtain his wealth."
That is some fascinating rhetoric there. The NYT investigation into Trump's taxes showed that he personally owed hundreds of millions of dollars before running for office. We've also seen the money pouring in to his investments as he jets around the world on the taxpayer's dime.
And for that matter where did Biden pull in great personal wealth? Burisma may have benefited his son but there is no evidence it went to Joe's financial coffers. If he's so wealthy then why is he traveling by Amtrak?
The dude is in real-estate. I'm personally in the hole for about $200K on a $100k/yr salary. It's called a "mortgage". It happens a lot in real estate. Sheesh.
Comparing your mortgage - a personal debt - to Trump Company properties - corporate debt - is like comparing apples to atom bombs. Just because his last name is on the physical building doesn't mean he personally is on the mortgage documents. The majority of Trump Company properties are held by the Trump Company, not by Trump himself. His taxes reveal that he personally owes hundreds of millions of dollars. His company is a whole different story, I have yet to hear anyone express much concern about thei

Do you know where the NYT got the documents from? You're making some huge legal assumptions there. I have not heard where the documents came from. We know the "law and order" part of the Trump administration is exempt from ever using facts for raising charges against people, but still you're trying to cross a major chasm here.
Though really, this should be seen by Trump supporters as Trump finally - if not necessarily intentionally - fulfilling his campaign promise to release his tax documents. He p
Also the part where he fucking ignores the emoluments clause, and pads his pockets by forcing people (like the secret service) to stay at his crappy, overpriced resorts.
Hey, don't forget the military having to drive hours to stay at his overpriced resort! Or jacking up the price at the old post office hotel in DC by an order of magnitude when he's throwing an event and foreign dignitaries want access. Or doubling the membership fees at his clubs because there's so much demand from people who want to pay to have access to the president in unofficial, off-the-record settings.
President Donald Trump returned to Mar-a-Lago on Friday evening for the 29th golf-related trip of his presidency to his for-profit Palm Beach, Florida, resort, raising his total taxpayer golf tab to $133.8 million.
That figure translates to 334 years of the presidential salary that Trump and his supporters frequently boast he is not taking.
That was by February of this year, I don't know what has been spent since then and this doesn't include any other events at any other Trump properties.
