According to a Friday filing with the Federal Election Commission, the campaign committee for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene reported its first net loss since she was elected.
The previous contribution totals were revised down and the first three months of the year had a deficit.
In the first quarter of 2022, the campaign committee for Rep. Greene spent over a million dollars and received over a million dollars in donations.
Her committee is known to be one of the top fundraisers in the House and has generated more donations than it has spent.
Spending for the Georgia congresswoman increased in the first quarter of 2022, particularly towards raising money, personality security, and the hiring of a Trump lawyer.
The majority of the spending was made up of money raised by people. The congresswoman spent more than $400,000 on printing, postage, and associated expenses when she expanded her digital fundraising operation to include direct mail.
The company that protected Kyle Rittenhouse during his trial last year, KaJor Group, was one of the companies that spent $140,000 on her security.
According to The Daily Beast, members of the Oath Keepers anti-government militia group gave free protection to Greene prior to the 2020 election.
According to the outlet, a representative for the congresswoman declined to comment on the hiring of the security firm, but did cite an increase in threats to her office, including the arrest of a New York man who made threatening calls to her office.
Our staff has reported over 20 threats to Capitol Police in the past week, along with a link to her response to Jimmy Kimmel.
On January 14, the Constitutional Counsel Group was paid a $10,000 retainer by the Trump lawyer John Eastman.
The plan for Mike Pence to hand Donald Trump the 2020 election was written by Eastman.
In a previous statement to Insider, the campaign of the leader of the party declined to provide details about the legal work of the leader of the party.
One of the leading constitutional attorneys in the country is Dr. Eastman. When we need advice on significant constitutional issues, we have occasionally sought his counsel.
The issues we sought his advice on are protected by attorney-client privilege.
The January 6 insurrection is one of the reasons why a constitutional challenge is pending to block her from running for reelection.
The candidacy challenge was filed in March, after the campaign had already hired Eastman.
