South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn (D) gave his grandson over $86,000 in "campaign management" fees along with more than $50,000 in rent to a company his son-n-law ran during the 2022 midterm elections, federal election filings reveal.
Clyburn paid his grandson, Walter A. Clyburn Reed $7,000 a month starting in December 2021 up until the 2022 election, although one month netted the Reed a mere $3,500, Federal Election Commission data shows.
Do the math: from October 2021 until November 2022, Reed received $86,500 in "campaign management" fees for his grandfather's campaign. Not bad if you can get it, eh?
Other federal filings show that Clyburn's campaign paid 49 Magnolia Blossoms LLC $57,500 in rent. Clyburn's son-in-law, Walter A. Reed, is the registered agent of the company, according to South Carolina business records reviewed by Fox News Digital.
Coincidence or nepotism? You make the call.
It is legal for federal politicians to use campaign money to pay family members, but ethics experts generally frown upon the practice, mostly because it's unethical.

Clyburn's campaign did not respond to media requests and told Brain Flushings 'tran-in-the-street' to go have sex with they-self.
