Organizer in hidden video alleges overseas donations to El-Sayed; campaign denies claim
- On Monday, the Michigan Democratic Party terminated field organizer Abdoul Beckwith after Keefe Media Group released an undercover video alleging foreign donations to Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
- El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat, faces Republican Mike Rogers in the November general election for the seat held by retiring Sen. Gary Peters, in a race viewed as competitive for Senate control.
- In the footage, Beckwith discussed routing foreign money through intermediaries and claimed El-Sayed could not reject Hamas without losing supporters, adding that advisers could 'hijack' the candidate's positions.
- The El-Sayed campaign described the comments as 'untrue,' 'wildly misinformed,' and 'not reflective of the campaign,' asserting full compliance with Federal Election Commission rules.
- No independent public evidence of illegal foreign contributions has been verified, though the incident adds to existing scrutiny regarding the campaign's donor networks and Israel-related issues.
