Sometime in June (date unknown), Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale and campaign lawyer Alex Cannon meet with Parler executives at Mar-a-Lago to discuss having Trump use the app.
Parler CEO John Matze and shareholders Dan Bongino and Jeffrey Wernick are at the meeting. They offer the Trump Organization 40% of the company if Donald Trump joins.
The White House stops discussions soon after out of fears that the deal would violate ethics rules.
