POLITICO reported earlier that there was scant evidence that a super PAC was spending the millions of dollars it reported to the Federal Election Commission. The super PAC now says it's returning money to its alleged donors, citing the POLITICO report.
A phantom super PAC that reported dropping millions on the battle for the Senate said in a report that it was returning money to its alleged donors following an investigation from POLITICO.that Americans for Progressive Action USA, a super PAC created earlier this year, was actually spending the millions of dollars in outlays it reported to the Federal Election Commission.
The filing also had other inconsistencies, including several vendors listed as doing business in Washington not appearing in a public database maintained by the District of Columbia government.on Monday, Americans for Progressive Action USA reported that it returned more than $4.8 million in donations it said it received from three donors with Texas addresses.
Additionally, two email addresses provided as a point of contact during the initial reporting process have since been shut off, with emails to those addresses bouncing back as undeliverable. POLITICO was unable to definitively identify and contact the donors for the organization, and an employer listed for one of the donors said they had no record of any such individual.The group's report says it has $1,000 remaining in its bank account.
Separately, the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, a conservative ethics watchdog, said itFACT’s complaint cites POLITICO’s reporting on the organization; POLITICO did not participate in the drafting or filing of the complaint. “Clearly here are highly suspicious activities taking place, and the FEC must do a full review of this super PAC,” Kendra Arnold, the executive director of FACT, said in a statement.
