Senate Majority Leader John Thune Faces FEC Complaint Over Alleged $1.1 Million Campaign Money Laundering Scheme

Guest post by Bob Cushman – Investigative Reporter – The Freedom Press – (https://michiganscorruption.com)

The Senate Leader has been accused of massive money laundering!

One of the best Freedom Fighters in America just dropped a “Truth Bomb”.

Investigative Reporter Peter Bernegger just released information that pertains to the “Pretend Republican” that is the “Senate Majority Leader.”

In this recent complaint to the FEC, Bernegger names both Thune and his treasurer.

In a December 26, 2025 dated tweet, Peter Bernegger stated the following:

“Senator @JohnThune I named your Treasurer, Nicole Weyers, in my complaint to the FEC on the money laundering into your campaign. I’m also referring her for alleged felony crimes from her position as Treasurer in your campaign committee. It’s going to be interesting about your bank your campaign committee used to launder the money.

Interesting John you went from college right into politics and never worked in the private sector. Then called for President Trump to drop out and let judas Mike Pence run for President instead.

‘Republican’ John Thune: never worked a day in the private sector for 40 some years yet wants to play with all our lives. He’s is also a big supporter of the fake, corrupt, Ukraine war — which the USA’s 3 letter agencies started. He is the one who has been blocking the vote to stop the weekly $40 million to the Taliban.”

Senator @JohnThune I named your Treasurer, Nicole Weyers, in my complaint to the FEC on the money laundering into your campaign.

I’m also referring her for alleged felony crimes from her position as Treasurer in your campaign committee.

A little history about Peter Bernegger

Bernegger has been investigating and documenting money laundering of Democrats (ActBlue) for several years now.

More recently he has become aware of the Republican money laundering through WinRed. I too have been investigating and analyzing money laundering for quite a few years.

I can state that Peter Bernegger is, to the best of my knowledge, the most knowledgeable person on this subject and has been fighting to make the world aware of this vicious practice where money is laundered to re-elect the persons that can be counted on to vote the way that they are “told”.

Peter Bernegger is the best “smurf finder” in the world!

Consider Peter’s recent history in this regard:

Timeline of Allegations

12/26/25 – US Senator John Thune
From Peter Bernegger — A complaint was filed this morning against US Senator John Thune — the Republican Senate Majority Leader — to the FEC for Smurfing $1,148,902 into his campaign. Smurfing is criminal money laundering into political campaigns. Much of the money is coming from the US Treasury = you. @AGPamBondi unfortunately is not stopping this money laundering. So we are going to stop it.

12/22/25 – US Senator Mark Kelly
From Peter Bernegger — An FEC complaint has been filed against US Senator Mark Kelly for Smurfing, totaling a stunning $41,300,637. Political Committee C00696526, MARK KELLY FOR SENATE, has accepted 790,641 smurfed donor transactions totaling $39,246,003 from 46,697 unique smurfing donors. These transactions encompass 68.3% of the 1,157,117 available committee transactions and 36.6% of the $107,149,771 full committee transaction valuation.

9/18/25 – US Senator Adam Schiff
From Peter Bernegger — Caught US Senator Adam Schiff smurfing $20,332,426 into his campaigns. Smurfing is structured criminal money laundering by politicians into their political campaigns. They do it by stealing the identities of senior citizens. “Smurfs” are the victims — the elderly.

5/16/25 – Senator Tammy Baldwin
From Peter Bernegger — Exclusive: I have filed a complaint to the FEC against US Senator Tammy Baldwin for criminally laundering $36,820,755 into her campaigns since 2017. This is smurfing by Baldwin, where she is stealing the identities of senior citizens — called smurfs — who are victims in this scheme. Tied in is the corrupt DNC.

2/27/25 – US Senator Tammy Baldwin
From Peter Bernegger — FEC complaint filed, lawsuit filed: $36,820,755 criminally laundered.

2/27/25 – US Senator Lindsey Graham
From Peter Bernegger — FEC complaint filed, lawsuit being filed within days: $11,090,385 criminally laundered.

2/27/25 – US Senator Amy Klobuchar
From Peter Bernegger — FEC complaint filed, lawsuit being filed Jan 2nd, 2026: $9,633,912 criminally laundered.

2/27/25 – US Senator Elissa Slotkin
From Peter Bernegger — FEC complaint filed: $16,126,348 criminally laundered.

2/26/25 – US Senator Patty Murray
Peter Bernegger reports: Senator Murray caught smurfing — criminally laundering money into her campaigns.

2/25/25 – US Senator Raphael Warnock
From Peter Bernegger — Political Committee C00736876, WARNOCK FOR GEORGIA, has accepted 969,936 smurfed donor transactions totaling $57,345,638 from 65,074 unique smurfing donors. These transactions encompass 64.9% of the 1,494,773 available committee transactions and 35.3% of the $162,521,122 full committee transaction valuation. After the FEC does nothing, then I’ll file suit.

2/25/25 – Senator Ruben Gallego
From Peter Bernegger — Caught smurfing, i.e., criminally laundering money into his campaign. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

2/24/25 – Senator Jon Ossoff
From Peter Bernegger — @SenOssoff caught smurfing. The top 20 smurfs made a minimum of 197,223 contributions to Ossoff’s campaign just via ActBlue.

Why do you think that the Senate has stonewalled Trump’s appointees?  Why do you think we are still funding the war in Ukraine? Did you know that John Thune posted the following tweet in October of 2016?

“Donald Trump should withdraw and Mike Pence should be our nominee effective immediately.”

It should come as no surprise to anyone that both Democrats and Republicans are afraid to admit that Massive Money Laundering has been going on quietly but powerfully for years now.

The recent revelations in The Gateway Pundit have led to a very large increase in Public Awareness.

Consider the following GP revelations in the past few weeks:

• Fani Willis Hit With Explosive New Allegations Tied to MASSIVE Democrat Money Laundering Scheme
• ‘The Seditious Six’ Face New Legal Challenges — Massive MONEY LAUNDERING Allegations Emerge
• TGP Was First to Report on Democrat Money Laundering Using ActBlue – President Trump Called for an Investigation – The Seditious Six Now Implicated

Now consider the fact –  President Trump ordered an investigation into the unlawful Voter Mule activity using ActBlue in April.

Now here the “confession” of a seasoned campaign operative!

In a very informative news discussion between Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Charlie LeDuff in a “No BS Newshour Episode #395” and campaign strategist Jason Roe (Fraudette Smurf – YouTube) , it was stated that ActBlue has allegedly received over 16 billion dollars since 2004.

It was also revealed that several senior members of ActBlue have abruptly resigned since allegations of fraud have come forward and several federal investigations have begun in 2025.

Jason Roe stated that people working within political campaigns for many years have been aware of the money laundering that was enabled by ActBlue and that Charlie LeDuff had, within the first few minutes of Episode 395, done a far better job of explaining how ActBlue had laundered money than any mainstream media ever had!

Jason Roe further states that:

• This activity is fraud
• This activity is money laundering
• This activity is funneling money from outside the US
• That Republicans are now outraising Democrats for the first time in a decade

 

What we have at this juncture is the making of a “Perfect Storm”!

• Neither Democrats or Republicans want to admit to this massive wide-spread fraud!
• The public is becoming very aware of this illegal practice.
• President Trump has ordered Pam Bondi to investigate this very troubling situation!
• Politicians in both parties have been named in formal complaints to the FEC for Illegal money laundering.
• Michael Flynn Issues Urgent Open Letter to President Trump — Says “We The People Demand ACCOUNTABILITY!” (12-29-25)

The obvious question is: “Will President Trump force our government to rectify this cancer in our Constitutional Republic?”
