Overview
- Seventeen House Democrats led by Rep. Jamie Raskin sent a letter asking why several corporate donation amounts did not match the committee’s original FEC reports.
- NOTUS previously reported that Amazon, General Motors, and Microsoft told Congress they gave more than the committee initially disclosed, with USAA also cited in follow-up filings.
- The inaugural committee has amended its reports to address those mismatches, yet Democrats said initial underreporting and delayed revisions remain concerning.
- The letter requests details on the committee’s procedures for accurate reporting and asks whether there has been any communication with the FEC about possible violations.
- A committee spokesperson, Danielle Alvarez, dismissed the inquiry as partisan and highlighted record fundraising near $250 million, which Democrats say heightens influence concerns.
