Donald Trump’s Team Officially Disavows the Patriot Party - Affirms the GOP Belongs to Trump
Former president Donald Trump’s team has officially disavowed the “Patriot Party,” a fringe
outfit that has tried to draw Trump’s supporters out of the Republican Party into a new third-
party effort.
Fake news had been circulating that Trump was connected to the efforts of Michael Joseph Gaul of
Georgia, who had suggested in a Jan. 22 filing that Trump may be connected to his incarnation of
the Patriot Party.
Trump’s team has made it clear in a separate FEC filing that this is not the case.

“On January 22, 2021, Patriot Party filed a Form 1 (Statement of Organization) listing [Trump’s
presidential organization] as a participant in purported joint fundraising activities under 11
C.F.R. 102.17.
[Trump’s presidential organization] did not authorize the filing of this Form 1, has not entered
into any joint fundraising agreement to fundraise through Patriot Party, and has no knowledge of
Patriot Party’s activities whatsoever,” Trump’s team wrote in the filing.
