However, the distribution of these funds raised questions about the allocation to nonprofits. See: https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5676685-maine-mass-shooting-fund-somali-linked-nonprofits/

Maine Foundation Let “Steering Committee” Steer Lewiston Shooting Donations to Their Own NGOs



"After accepting $6.6 million in donations made for the benefit of the victims’ families and survivors, the MCF distributed just $4.7 million to those individuals.

The remaining $1.9 million went to NGOs, many of them politically connected, and many of them involved in the nebulous world of “migrant services.”

Wow, the Dems must really be slipping up under Trump! They scarfed only about 25% off the top to finance their clandestine efforts! Trump has worn them down to a nub from their high water mark of stealing 60-70% of every dollar they touch.
