According to a new report by The Daily Beast, there might be a traitor in the #Resistance.
The Coalition Against Trump, which the DB describes as “one of the many new progressive-minded organizations to bloom in the age of anti-Trump fervor,” managed to rake in hundreds of millions of dollars in 2016 to unsuccessfully defeat Trump. After Trump de-“inevitable”-ized Hillary Clinton on election night, the PAC, partly led by senior advisor Scott Dworkin, expertly morphed into a “resist Trump” effort and continued to pull in Democratic dollars, much of it coming in the form of $200 or less donations from “unitemized” donors.
“It’s what the group has done with its money — not how much it has brought in — that has raised eyebrows among other operatives,” the DB’s Lachlan Markay and Sam Stein note.
According to FEC records, in 2016, 90% of the hundreds of thousands donated to the Coalition Against Trump went to Dworkin and other staff members, “either personally or through a consulting company,” Markay and Stein report. In 2017, more than half the nearly half-a-million dollars the PAC took in went to employees or their consulting firms. – READ MORE
