Dark Money
Liberal billionaire, George Soros' dark money is behind ads urging Republicans to impeach President Donald Trump
A multi-million-dollar ad blitz that features military veterans urging Republicans in swing districts to support the impeachment inquiry into President Trump is funded by a progressive "dark money" group backed by billionaire left-wing activist George Soros.
The ads were scheduled to air this week on "Fox and Friends," a favorite show of the president, in the Washington, D.C., market and in 13 Republican-held congressional districts, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.
The military veterans in the ads urge Republican representatives to "put country over politics" by holding Trump accountable for "abusing his office and risking national security for his own gain."
The Daily Caller said the ads disclose they're paid for by the group Defend American Democracy. But D.C. business registration documents reveal the group is one of the many projects of the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a dark money nonprofit that received $4.5 million from Soros' Open Society Policy Center between 2012 and 2017, according to Open Secrets.
