In the aftermath of the Harvey Weinstein exposé, House Democrats' campaign arm promised to give every penny the disgraced movie mogul donated to the group — over $23,000 — to a women’s charity.
But Fox News viewed FEC filings from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and found that the money intended for charity was actually earmarked as a refund to Weinstein, an issue the DCCC labeled a “reporting error.”
The Democratic group has since worked to clean up the paperwork to prove it indeed followed through on its October pledge. A women's charity has confirmed that it received the donation.
But the group’s 2017 filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) strikingly showed, as of Monday morning, that the DCCC refunded the figure to Weinstein rather than honoring the pledge. The reports submitted to the FEC by the party showed a refund to the movie mogul of $23,225.
A senior DCCC official denied that the money went back to Weinstein, saying the check was in fact written for the women’s group.
