One of President Donald Trump’s leading political action committees abruptly stopped paying consulting firm Better Mousetrap Digital last November, after months of regularly giving the firm thousands in “fundraising fees.”
The Trump National Committee Joint Fundraising Committee’s apparent breakup with the firm coincided with NOTUS detailing on Oct. 31 how Better Mousetrap Digital is led by Jack Daly, a political operative who pleaded guilty in 2023 to defrauding thousands of conservative political donors.
The Republican National Committee joined the Trump committee, which did not respond to requests for comment, in seemingly ditching Daly’s firm. “Can confirm payments were stopped,” RNC spokesperson Kiersten Pels told NOTUS. In Wyoming, Rep. Harriet Hageman’s congressional campaign committee previously confirmed severing ties with Better Mousetrap Digital.
