MAGA rep. loans $320K to his campaign — but apparently doesn't have a bank account: report

"How was he able to loan it because currently, his financial disclosure reports are not showing that sort of wealth that he could easily lend that money." "It's not clear from his financial disclosure reports where he got the money for this loan," said Campaign Legal Center counsel Danielle Coulter.
