At the FEC's demand, Trump's campaign on Thursday provided regulators with the names of employees at his real estate and entertainment company who are doing work for his campaign - mostly security and communications aides.
"From day one, there was no use of any corporate assets in any way, shape or form," said Bill Dal Col, who ran Forbes's unsuccessful 1996 and 2000 White House campaigns.
