Cummings Responds to Explosive New Report on Chairman Gowdy's Links to STOP HILLARY PAC [View all]

Source: House Select Committee on Benghazi



"Gowdy’s leadership PAC, Themis, shared the same treasurer as Stop Hillary PAC since 2013, an outspoken political operative and Clinton opponent named Dan Backer.

Backer also served as treasurer on three other PACs that each donated $2,000 to Gowdy for Congress in April. Only after being confronted with these facts by the Washington Post did Gowdy return these donations on Friday.

Just last month, STOP Hillary PAC spent $10,000 on robocalls and other efforts in support of Gowdy."
