Some Democrats Don’t Want To Give The Money Back

On Friday, Breitbart reported that there are sixteen Democrats who do not want to return the campaign donations given to them by FTX since its former CEO Samuel Bankman-Fried was changed this week for violating campaign finance laws.

The article reports:

Some Democrats have refused to return the money to FTX and have instead donated or plan to donate it to charity. Donations to charity do not eliminate any potential claims of fraud, however. “The bankruptcy trustee could still ask that donations made by FTX donors be returned if courts determine Bankman-Fried and other FTX executives committed fraud,” Bloomberg reported.

This is the list:

  1. Election Denier Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)
  2. Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA)
  3. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ)
  4. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV)
  5. Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)
  6. Sen.-elect Peter Welch (D-VT)
  7. Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ)
  8. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA)
  9. Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO)
  10. Rep. Josh Harder (D-CA)
  11. Rep. Kim Schrier (D-WA)
  12. Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY)
  13. Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN)
  14. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA)
  15. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL)
  16. Reps. Chuy García (D-IL)

It is quite likely that the bankruptcy receiver will ask them to return the money regardless of what they have done with it.
