Post move pretty quickly so I apologize if this has already been discussed and I missed it.

This article was shocking to me in multiple ways. But I really am angry if the costs of the celebrity events was as high as implied.

Meanwhile, a cast of donors are perplexed over how the money was spent and are second-guessing the campaign’s decisions to hold high-dollar, celebrity appearances and concerts in the closing days of the race. Celebrities themselves were not paid, but there were associated costs with regard to production and travel, a campaign source said.
