'Shady' group recruits Trump supporters in suspected 'dirty trick' aimed at GOP: report

A shadowy organization has been recruiting Donald Trump supporters to run as independent candidates in key swing districts in an apparent effort to siphon votes from Republican candidates.

An Associated Press review found the Run Patriots Project recruited candidates through Facebook for two races in Iowa, as well as races in Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Virginia and Minnesota, but group's operation provides few clues about its management or financing – although business fillings and other documents show significant spending.
