President Donald J. Trump’s campaign has described the Lincoln Project as “a transparent way for political bottom feeders to make easy money.” A group of strategists claiming to be disillusioned Republicans purportedly formed the political action committee to prevent their nemesis from winning a second term, a goal shared by the many Democratic donors bankrolling their efforts. But recent campaign disclosures indicate a substantial portion of those donations have been spent on questionable operating expenditures, sparking accusations that the PAC’s leaders are “grifters” running a “scam” designed to enrich themselves.
The Lincoln Project convinced Democratic donors to part with $39,384,397 in Q3. It burned a staggering $13 million on operating expenditures, made $23.9M of IEs (mostly routed into its founders firms), and ended with $13.2M on hand. https://t.co/wvOXUYp7ed
