Former President Donald Trump‘s Save America PAC has paid $60,000 in four installments to the designer who once styled Melania Trump.

The PAC, launched after the 2020 election to challenge results and raise money for candidates he supports, paid Hervé Pierre Braillard one installment of $6,000 on April 7 and three $18,000 payments on May 4, June 3 and June 24 according to the Federal Election Commission.

The funds used to pay Braillard are being described as “strategy consulting” services according to a senior official with Save America.

“Mr. Pierre serves as a senior advisor to Save America, involved in event management and special projects,” a PAC official said in a statement.

Melania is one of the many first ladies the French-American designer has styled. Braillard has worked for first ladies like Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama.

According to the Federal Elections Committee, it is against the rules for candidate PACs to spend money for personal use. T

rump’s PAC group, described as a “leadership PAC,” has fewer restrictions.

By law, the organization must give a minimum of $2,100 to candidates in state Senate races and $1,050 in House races. The PAC gave nine candidates $5,000 each.

The House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection has reprimanded Save America PAC for raising millions of dollars for false election fraud claims.

Two former Trump assistants testified saying the fund didn’t give any money for fraud investigations and and was mainly a marketing tactic.
