President Joe Biden’s favorite super PAC will have to explain a $12 million hole in its finances and its apparent use of an illegal donor concealment scheme after a watchdog group filed a complaint to the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday.
The Biden White House recently endorsed Future Forward as the "pre-eminent super PAC" supporting the president’s reelection bid. But Future Forward’s financial disclosures are rife with glaring discrepancies, and the group used its affiliated dark money nonprofit, Future Forward USA Action, to conceal from the public some of the donors behind its nearly $400 million bankroll in a manner that has resulted in fines and convictions for other political activists, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
The National Legal and Policy Center said in its complaint Tuesday that Future Forward’s conduct violated federal law, and urged the commission to investigate and penalize the group.
