Former President Trump’s presidential campaign unveiled a new endorsement seal Friday aimed at stopping scammers who falsely claim an affiliation with Trump and his campaign while fundraising. Trump’s campaign announced Friday it would grant a “Seal of Approval” to a group of candidates and committees that the president endorses or supports. The campaign said the seal will protect Trump’s donors and supports from “illegitimate organizations” that claim to be affiliated with Trump and his campaign. In a letter obtained by Politico, Trump campaign officials claimed the groups’ fundraising messages make it appear as though the funds will go toward the former president’s campaign. The Hill reached out to Trump’s campaign for further comment.
