White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wouldn’t say whether President Biden would ask his aides to return 2020 campaign contributions from accused cryptocurrency con man Sam Bankman-F…
Bankman-Fried, 30, was one of the Democratic Party’s biggest donors and even met with Biden’s White House advisers before his FTX currency exchange collapsed in one of the largest alleged frauds in American business history.
“So look, I’m covered here by the Hatch Act — [I’m] limited on what I can say and anything that’s connected to political contributions from here, I would have to refer you to the DNC,” Jean-Pierre said, citing the federal law that prohibits certain officials from advocating for candidates. When asked for her answer to the other question, regarding Biden’s opinion more generally, Jean-Pierre said, “I just cannot speak to this from here, even his thoughts.”
Bankman-Fried gave $50,000 in October 2020 to the Biden Victory Fund and another $2,800 directly to the Biden campaign that same month, according to Federal Election Commission records.
