Patel’s Nonprofit: More MAGA Merch Than Charity, Watchdog Reveals
An investigation by Accountable.US reveals that the Kash Foundation, founded by Donald Trump’s former nominee for FBI director Kash Patel, prioritizes sales of MAGA merchandise through a related online store over charitable giving. This arrangement, involving foundation vice president Andrew Ollis, raises concerns of potential conflicts of interest and self-enrichment. Critics allege the foundation’s activities constitute a “cynical cash grab” leveraging Patel’s political connections. However, the Kash Foundation maintains its operations are fully compliant with conflict of interest policies.
