Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., transferred $75,000 from his campaign's coffers to his wife and stepson's nonprofit during the third quarter, Fox News Digital has found. The money from the senator's campaign went to the Sanders Institute on Aug. 8, according to its recently released Federal Election Commission filings. The cash follows the $200,000 that the committee sent to the nonprofit earlier this year.
The facts present in this case and the family ties involved certainly raise legitimate concern,' Kendra Arnold, executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, previously told Fox News Digital. 'Obviously, a senator is not allowed to use his campaign to simply transfer large sums of money to family members – regardless of the route the dollars take.
This election cycle is also not the first time Sanders' campaign helped bolster his family's nonprofit. In 2021, his presidential committee transferred $350,000 to the institute. The cash accounted for nearly half of the $716,000 it raised that year when it put close to 40% of its donations toward salaries and Sanders' stepson collected slightly more than $150,000 in pay.
