Overview
- Devin Nunes’ campaign committee holds about $14.5 million in cash despite Nunes not running for office since 2020.
- The Federal Election Commission sent a written inquiry seeking explanations for 16 disbursements made in the second half of 2025 that drew regulatory attention.
- Most flagged payments were made to the Washington law firm Berke Farah LLP and to Clarissa Henderson, a longtime former aide to Nunes.
- Nunes’ attorney replied that the committee “maintains the residual cash on hand for a potential future election” but did not identify any specific race or clarify the flagged expenses.
- If the FEC finds the payments were personal use rather than campaign-related, the committee could be asked to reimburse beneficiaries and face enforcement actions, and the probe adds political scrutiny to Nunes’ post‑congressional roles at Trump Media and a White House advisory post.
