APT Launches Foreign Money Database Tracking Over $5 Billion
The first-of-its-kind database has tracked 523 groups and 12,094 records as APT says foreign money is shaping U.S. politics.
- Watchdog group Americans for Public Trust launched a database tracking over $5 billion in foreign funds flowing into tax-exempt politically active U.S. nonprofits.
- APT emphasized that dark money grants from overseas donors fund domestic political activities, including voter mobilization, ballot initiatives, and grassroots protest campaigns.
- House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith backed the database, stating the findings confirm congressional inquiries into foreign cash reaching U.S. political sectors via shell groups.
- The launch aims to spur legislative reform, pressuring lawmakers to close federal tax and election disclosure loopholes that permit foreign influence in tax-exempt entities.
