A pro-Trump political action committee went to federal court to force the FEC to rule on a three-year-old claim that MikeBloomberg’s 2020 presidential campaign “laundered” $18 million through the DNC.
In its new lawsuit filed with the U.S. District Court in Washington, Great America PAC said it was tired of waiting for the politically divided FEC to act and was asking that the agency be forced to move.“We’ve waited patiently, and now we’re not,” the PAC’s legal counsel, Dan Backer, told Secrets in previewing the suit.
Despite dumping $935 million of his own money into his campaign, Bloomberg never caught fire in the election. When he got out after just a few months, he took all but $18 million back, transferring the remainder over to the DNC. The transfer was described as “historic” in glowing media reports. The suit filed on Thursday read: “The administrative complaint GAP filed with the FEC alleges the existence of a conspiracy to funnel — effectively launder — well over $18 million of Michael Bloomberg’s personal funds through his abortive presidential candidate committee to the DNC.”
