Further, Vince Haley, Taylor Swindle, and Ross Worthington are corporate officers of a company known as Pericles LLC.[183] Haley is a former policy advisor to President Trump,[184] Swindle is the Chief Financial Officer for Gingrich 360,[185] and Ross Worthington is the former White House speechwriter[186] who wrote the speech President Trump delivered on the Ellipse on January 6th.[187] Pericles LLC was registered on January 27, 2021,[188] the day after Scavino's Hudson Digital LLC, and, since then, has received payments from Save America totaling at least $352,700.[189]

Another former speechwriter for President Trump, Robert Gabriel, Jr., has also been receiving payments from Save America. Gabriel was involved in writing the speech President Trump delivered on the White House Ellipse on January 6th, and specifically told the speechwriters, including Worthington, to reinsert previously removed incendiary lines about Vice President Pence into the speech.[190] This direction came after Vice President Pence told President Trump that he would not try to change the outcome of the election.[191] In September 2021, Gabriel formed called Gabriel Strategies LLC,[192] which began receiving payments from Save America the following month.[193] Since October 2021, Save America has paid Gabriel Strategies LLC at least $167,674.00.[194] For both Pericles and Gabriel Strategies, the description of the payments is always for "consulting" in political strategy or communications, and some payments are purported to include travel expenses.

Through October 2022, Save America has paid nearly $100,000 in "strategy consulting" payments to Herve Pierre Braillard,[195] a fashion designer who has been dressing Melania Trump for years.[196]

From January 2021 to June 2022, Save America has also reported over $2.1 million in "legal consulting." Many firms perform different kinds of practice, but more than 67% of those funds went to law firms that are representing witnesses involved in the Select Committee's investigation who were subpoenaed or invited to testify.

Additionally, Save America has reported other expenditures, like:

  • $1,000,000 donation to America First Policy Institute, home to several former Trump officials and witnesses subpoenaed to testify before the Committee.[197]
  • $1,000,000 donation to Conservative Partnership Institute, a conservative nonprofit organization where Mark Meadows is a senior partner.[198]
  • More than $10.6 million to Event Strategies, Inc., the preferred staging company for President Trump that staged the January 6th rally.[199]
