in kind

That story should have been seen as an in-kind gift to the Trump campaign.

A Brentwood official testified in the recent trial that the school pays rent of $850,000 annually to the VA and provides more than $900,000 in “in-kind” services, including meals for veterans and a shuttle service so they can use the campus.

Several times, Carter dourly pointed out to the lawyers the disconnect between the schedule for veterans’ access — 5 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. most weekdays — and shuttle service provided as an “in-kind” contribution to veterans that runs only from 9 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.

Democrats should be dinged for an in-kind contribution to the Donald Trump campaign for bringing the criminal charges that resulted in a felony conviction in New York City.

In 2018, watchdog group Common Cause filed a complaint claiming the payment was an “in-kind contribution” to Trump’s campaign.
