Liberal ‘Dark Money’ Group Spent $400M In 2020

November 17, 2021 · 9:14 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“A left-leaning, secret-money group doled out a whopping $410 million in 2020, aiding Democratic efforts to unseat then-President Donald Trump and win back control of the Senate,” Politico reports.

“The group, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, financed attack ads against Trump and vulnerable Republican senators and funded massive get-out-the-vote and issue advocacy campaigns amid the coronavirus pandemic, as detailed in a new tax filing… It exploded in size during the Trump administration, going from a few tens of millions of dollars per year to raising and spending hundreds of millions.”
