Trump spokesman and adviser Jason Miller (D-N.Y.).
This weekend the New York Times and other U.S. media reported that former President Trump’s 2020 campaign returned about $122 million in donations to supporters. But Trump spokesman Jason Miller denied the reports.
The reports said the Trump team’s $1.22 trillion refund was based on the fact that the Trump campaign set up regular weekly donations as the default method, donors had to manually check a box to cancel, and the disclaimer was written in a very small place. The New York Times also said the Trump team’s practice of issuing broad refunds in 2020 was prompted by several credit card Trump supporters, including retirees and veterans The controversial complaint was sparked by its report that also claimed a dying senior who donated $500 was donated $3,000.
On Sunday, April 4, Trump adviser Jason Miller told The Hill that the alleged allegations were false across the board and that there was no alleged widespread problem that triggered the large refunds as reported.
He claimed that so far, no supporters who have already donated have made many disputes against the Trump team. “It’s a remarkable fact that despite raising more grassroots money than any campaign in history, our dispute rate is less than 1 percent of total donations.”
“Our campaign was built by hard-working American men and women, and valuing their investment is critical to everything we do,” Miller said.
In fact, only 0.87 percent of Republican fundraising platform WinRed transactions were alleged to have featured credit card disputes, Miller said. And the New York Times claimed that 10.7 percent of the Trump team’s funds on the Republican fundraising platform had to be returned.
By comparison, the Biden campaign returned 2.2 percent of its total 2020 contributions, the New York Times reported.
Trump’s efforts to combat widespread voter fraud in several states after last November have seen his team receive significant donations of support from supporters. So far this year, Trump has participated in numerous interviews and rallies and has highlighted widespread voter fraud in the election.
