The conservative activist cited by Donald Trump as an authority on voter fraud owes the US government more than $100,000 in unpaid taxes, was once accused of lying about his qualifications, and has faced several allegations of ethical impropriety.

While he has posted online about excessive government spending, Phillips owes the federal government $100,961 in unpaid income taxes with his wife, according to a lien filed by the IRS in Manatee County, Florida, in 2014. An official at the county clerks office said the outstanding sum had not been paid. In a text message on Friday, Phillips said: I am in a disagreement with the IRS over income taxes. The amount owed is less than $50,000.
Phillips also had a colorful and lesser known career in Mississippi and Texas state politics over the past few decades, in which he was accused of exploiting positions that he held in the administrations of both states for financial gain.
The former stockbroker and Republican fundraiser described those years differently in a tweet posted last November. Ive torn down govt in two states, eliminated 20k jobs, & saved $5 billion, he said. Requires enormous stones.

Multiply what he owes by the factor of Trump's imaginary crowd size and you'll get the right number.
