In a bizarre turn of events Tuesday, a former member of the notorious NXIVM sex cult, whose founder, Keith Raniere, is currently on trial, testified that one of the cult’s benefactors raised thousands of dollars from cult members for Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign.

The New York Post reports that Mark Vicente, who used to be a high-ranking member of the cult, testified in court that another high-ranking NXIVM devotee, Seagram’s rum heiress Clare Bronfman, demanded cult members donate the maximum individual amount — then $2,300 — to Clinton’s 2008 primary campaign against then-Illinois senator, Barack Obama.
