McArdle went so far as to authorize official Libertarian Party email blasts to promote this explicitly pro-Trump event.
Pay-to-Play? The Post-Election Windfall
The most alarming aspect of the JFC is where the money went after the election concluded. A look at campaign finance filings reveals a pattern of massive donations followed closely by presidential pardons, government contracts, and political appointments.
Utah billionaire, Trevor Milton, donated $56,000 to the Kennedy Victory fund on October 30, 2024 just days before the election and $750,000 to the MAHA Alliance Kennedy supporting PAC in September 2024 among other contributions to Republican causes.
In 2025, Milton was granted a pardon by Donald Trump.
In December 2024, after the election, the Kennedy Victory Fund received a contribution of $147,900 from one of the contractors awarded the Alligator Alcatraz contract.
On January 29, 2025, months after the election, a Patrica Duggan of Florida donated $176,800 to the Kennedy Victory Fund. Weeks later on February 12, 2025, a Patricia Duggan of Florida is named as a member of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
After the Kennedy Center appointments were made, the new board named Donald Trump Chairman of the Board and changed the name to the Trump Kennedy Center.
The link between Patricia Duggan’s appointment and the money trail features a familiar face: the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts was led by none other than Ric Grenell—McArdle’s handler from the Trump campaign.
And we can’t forget that Kennedy himself was rewarded for dropping out of the campaign with a post in the Trump administration.
While skeptics claims these post-election windfalls are merely coincidental, the optics are devastating. The Libertarian Party’s apparatus was clearly used to facilitate a funnel of cash that directly ties to the Trump administration.
The Endgame: 2028 Plans for Another Kennedy Victory Fund
According to multiple inside sources, the Kennedy Victory Fund was never meant to be a one-off transaction. Plans were already underway to execute the exact same scheme for the 2028 election cycle, using figures like RFK Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, or Nicole Shanahan (Kennedy’s VP) to establish another slush fund for party leadership.
There is no indication that Kennedy, Ramaswamy, or Shanahan signed off on this strategy. The grand plan hit a wall when McArdle was forced to resign from the LNC altogether. The resignation came after an expose by this Substack revealed she was secretly routing party funds to her domestic partner through a hidden Delaware LLC. That came a month after we uncovered that she was using JFC money to secretly pay her household.
This weekend, the Libertarian National Committee meets at its national convention to decide its future. The integrity of the party is on the line. Will the delegates vote to reclaim their independence, or will they permanently solidify the party’s status as nothing more than a political strumpet for the major parties?
Only time will tell. But the paper trail suggests the price for the party of principle has already been paid.
