Freedom 250 is wire fraud.

That's the core of it. It's not just Trump's ego trying to bypass an organization created by others and not devoted to him.
Freedom 250 opens a money hole straight into Trump's pocket, and fools donors into shoveling in the cash. It's wire fraud.

Donors were misled by Trump-backed Freedom 250, House Democrats allege

The lawmakers’ report alleges that Trump allies worked to divert funds away from America250, a bipartisan effort to mark the nation’s semiquincentennial. Freedom 250 denies the allegations.
