The website for the American Horizons PAC – dinnerwithtrump.org – looks just like Donald Trump’s campaign website. The PAC, which is run by a Maryland man named Ian Hawes, promised donors a chance to win dinner with Trump, and it raised $1.1 million from over 20,000 Trump supporters. American Horizons, however, has no connection to Trump or his campaign. Are Hawes’ actions illegal?
