Taxpayers fleeced again.
Donor gets $27 mil grant.
Draining the swamp? MAGA?
Clay Lacy Aviation, a private jet company, received a $27 million bailout from the federal government, according to a report from CNBC.
The funds are a grant from the CARES Act and won't need to be repaid, the report said.
The company's founder, Clay Lacy, donated the maximum amount to the Trump campaign in 2016 and gave $47,300 to the Republican National Committee the same year, according to OpenSecrets.
The company itself gave $5,000 in 2018 to a Republican PAC.
The Treasury Department told Business Insider that political affiliation has "absolutely no bearing" on funding. Clay Lacy Aviation did not respond to a request for comment.
