Dark Money Group Pushed Voter Fraud Claims

January 13, 2021 at 1:57 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“A dark-money group used by Republican donors funneled millions of dollars to high-profile conservative organizations that pushed or investigated claims of election fraud before and after Joe Biden defeated President Trump,” CNBC reports.

“That group, the Donors Trust, is officially labeled as a nonprofit. The designation allows financiers to give to the organization anonymously. That money is then channeled to other dark-money groups.”
