Questions Raised Over Former AOC Aide's PAC Spending
-
Former AOC aide Corbin Trent launched a PAC that raised funds ostensibly to pressure Senators Manchin and Sinema on filibuster, but Trent pocketed over 70% of the money raised.
-
The PAC spent little money on actual political advocacy, but paid Trent handsomely for "consulting."
-
Now the dormant PAC is trying to raise money again, this time to run ads urging Biden not to seek reelection in 2024.
-
As of October 2022, the PAC had just $1,552 left in its accounts, so it needs to raise more money.
-
Trent previously worked for Bernie Sanders and AOC before launching a PAC that seems designed to funnel donor money to himself.
