A key strategist working with Trump is Stephen Miller, the White House policy adviser, who created America First Legal, a nonprofit to lead the disinformation effort in February 2021 and within a year got a $27 million contribution from the Bradley Impact Fund, as David Armiak reported for the Center for Media and Democracy. “The Bradley Impact Fund grant accounted for 61% of the $44.4 million AFL raised in 2022,” he reported.
Another $1.3 million for Miller’s group came from the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI), “considered the nonprofit nerve center of the Trump movement,” the Times reported. But most of the CPI’s money also came from the Bradley Foundation: “CPI received $862,310 in contributions from Bradley’s nonprofits in 2022,” Armiak reported.
