POWHATAN, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – The Daily Beast reports long-time Virginia GOP political operative Chris LaCivita has “raked in $22-million” over the last two years for his Richmond-area consulting business as senior campaign advisor for Donald Trump. This report comes at a time when the Trump campaign lags behind the Harris campaign in fundraising, to the point of a report Trump has lashed out at donors for not giving more. The Beast quotes past campaign operatives saying consulting money amounts to the LaCivita firm Advancing Strategies is “unheard of”, but one Trump campaign official says the figure is misleading because much of this was “pass through” payments to other vendors.

A LaCivita email to The Beast calls the story “fabricated”, and continues “every member of this team, myself included, has been fairly and responsibly compensated…”
LaCivita started his political career with George Allen’s Congressional campaign when Allen was home-based in Earlysville.
