Alt-right agitator Milo Yiannopoulos used the credit card for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) campaign last November to purchase an internet domain for Kanye West’s still unannounced 2024 presidential bid, and he was reimbursed for “domain transfer” by the West campaign the same day for $3,000 above cost, according to receipts obtained by The Daily Beast and a person with knowledge of the events.

The receipts match Federal Election Commission filings from both campaigns. Those filings show that on Nov. 22, the Greene campaign reported a $7,020.16 expense to the GoDaddy hosting service for “domain registration and hosting.” That same day, the Kanye 2020 committee reported paying Yiannopoulos $9,955 for “domain transfer.”

Legal experts told The Daily Beast that the transactions raise a number of questions, including about possible theft and conversion of campaign funds to personal use.

According to the receipts, GoDaddy billed Greene senior adviser Isaiah Wartman for a $7,020.16 purchase of the “ye24.com” domain on Nov. 22. The person with direct knowledge of the events said that Yiannopoulos oversaw the transaction with the Greene campaign card, but the person did not know whether the Greene campaign was aware at the time of the expense.

Yiannopoulos, who has taken credit for arranging the Mar-a-Lago evening, told The Daily Beast that multiple media reports placing him at the dinner were inaccurate and that he did not personally attend. Ye fired Yiannopoulos after the provocateur told NBC News he orchestrated the dinner with the notorious Fuentes “to make Trump’s life miserable,” but the disgraced hip-hop mogul rehired him as political director last week, The Daily Beast reported........................

1. Why Kanye's campaign did not use GoDaddy directly hints that other scheming was afoot.

.

Surely it wasn't done to mask the domain purchase, since the domain transfer was performed. And that leaves one heck of a paper trail.

[bronxiteforever]

7. +1 absolutely!

[Initech]

2. How is Marjorie Shit For Brains still employed?

In her words, it's time to take out the trash.

[riversedge]

3. The Repug trash in our House is leaving a BIGLY STINK

[Mawspam2]

4. Why did GoDaddy charge $7gs for a domain?

Was GoDaddy squatting on it? Sounds criminal to me.

[TheBlackAdder]

6. Years back they didn't, then they started having an auction service, then who knows.

.

It seems like the price is either fabricated, based on a 4 character domain exclusivity or someone is squatting.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is squatting, like how TicketMaster buys or re-buys tickets to boost the price.

Domains are a commodity, like real estate, cars or artwork. If there is a buck to be made someone will make it.

10. Yeah sounds like they had to buy the domain from someone else

But my bet is milo and marge conspired to get the domain at some point and then resold it for a profit to Kanye

[TheBlackAdder]

11. To get the money & transfer the same day kinda sounds like the three were in on some scheme.

[ToxMarz]

12. I think Kanye was the patsy in the scheme

The only reason he is being considered for a presidential run is for the money surrounding a campaign. And they can and will rob him blind.

[2naSalit]

5. Imagine that!

[marble falls]

8. A mini basket of deplorables.

[Paladin]

9. What a filthy bunch of people. They deserve one another. (nt)

[moreland01]

13. Head scratcher

Can't Kanye West afford to pay for his own domain name?

[tanyev]

14. Goodness, why would yuuuge Trump supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene help get a domain set up

for a Kanye presidential campaign? Why, it's as if it was a calculated ploy to try and draw 'Democrat' voters away from Joe Biden and really help Trump.
