Newt Gingrich remains the king of presidential campaign debt

Raw Story  

Newt still owes a mountain of loot. According to paperwork filed Friday with the Federal Election Commission and reviewed by Raw Story, Newt Gingrich's 2012 presidential campaign committee remains more than $4.63 million in debt. Other well-known entities that are still owed money by the Gingrich campaign include: Comcast, FedEx, the late Herman Cain, Twitter, and Verizon. Gingrich's campaign had failed to pay down any of this lingering debt for most of the past decade, even as Gingrich himself frequently raises money on behalf of other Republican entities such as the National Republican Congressional Committee and former President Donald Trump. Former 2012 and 2016 Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, for one, reported that his still-technically-active presidential campaign committees together owe almost $1 million to a variety of campaign contractors — and Santorum personally.
