Trump camp paid $35K to firm named after ‘Mad Men’

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign paid $35,000 to an entity named after characters from the TV series “Mad Men,” according to a new report.

Trump’s camp paid Draper Sterling LLC that amount in April for “web advertising,” ThinkProgress reported on Tuesday.

{mosads}Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show that Trump’s team made four separate payments — three $10,000 payments and one $5,000 payment — to Draper Sterling on April 27 using the campaign’s American Express card, according to the blog of the progressive think tank Center for American Progress.

ThinkProgress notes that Draper Sterling was registered with the New Hampshire secretary of State to Jon Adkins.

Vanity Fair on Tuesday reported that it was formed as a consulting business in December 2015 and registered in the Granite State last March.

Adkins is the co-founder of Dynamic Solutions, a scientific consulting firm; and XenoTherapeutics, an “early stage medical device and research company.”

ThinkProgress said Draper Sterling’s headquarters shares an address with Adkins’s home in Londonderry, N.H.

Adkins co-founded XenTherapeutics with Paul Holzer, it said, a former Navy SEAL and current medical student at Dartmouth.

Holzer ran “voter contact strategy” for Republican Charlie Baker’s Massachusetts gubernatorial bid in 2014. He also serves on the “management and strategy team” for John Brunner, a Republican candidate for governor in Missouri.

ThinkProgress reported that Draper Sterling is mentioned in an FEC complaint filed last month against a super-PAC involved in the gubernatorial race in Missouri. 

It says “Patriots for America” made a “mysterious” and “highly unusual” $56,234 payment to Draper Sterling.

ThinkProgress noted that Patriots for America is run by Adam McLain, who is Holzer’s brother. 

Trump paid $3,000 each to Adkins and Holzer in May for “field consulting,” the news outlet added.

Holzer listed Adkins’s home as his address.
