The DNC wants their money back from Hillary Clinton – Democrat officials demanded Hillary Clinton give back $1.65 million the DNC gave her in exchange for her campaign email list and other supposed ‘supporter-prospecting resources.’
The Democratic National Committee made the deal with Clinton in 2017 for the materials, but, now, Democrat leaders want Clinton to refund the $1.65 million, The Huffington Post reports:
“In February 2017, the DNC agreed to pay Clinton’s group Onward Together $1.65 million for her campaign email list, analytics, donor data and related items, The Intercept reported on Wednesday. The cache of material was worth more than $5 million; Clinton’s campaign made an in-kind donation of resources worth $3.5 million, and the DNC paid for the rest.
“Now, a number of Democratic Party officials, including some state party chairs and DNC members, want Clinton to retroactively donate the campaign materials to the DNC and return the money that the party organ gave Onward Together.”
DNC officials say Hillary Clinton should immediately return the $1.65 million “for the love of the party” and because it’s “the Christian thing to do,”
A spokesperson for Clinton, Nick Merrill, says the Democratic National Committee has more than gotten its money’s worth from the materials.
