Left-wing dark money group targeting House GOP hires ex-Clinton world staffers
Facts First USA is a 501 nonprofit group that will spend millions on a “SWAT team to counter Republican congressional investigations," according to an October memo by longtime Democratic political operative David Brock, the group's president. Now, Facts First USA has hired Jessica McIntosh and Ali Rubin, two Democratic consultants who have served various roles in Clintonworld.
A senior GOP congressional aide told the Washington Examiner they find it"pretty pathetic" that Facts First USA is"wasting money" to target Republicans that aim to conduct"legitimate" oversight. The GOP-led investigations next Congress are expected to revolve around the alleged politicization of the Justice Department, Hunter Biden, COVID-19 origins, the border crisis, and the Biden administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan.
"The presidential election in 2024 will be close and simply relying on the hope that facts will triumph over conspiracy is not sufficient," wrote Brock in the memo."Instead, a robust external force — a SWAT team with additional capacity — must also be in place to ensure that the media and public do not accept the false narrative that flows from congressional investigations."
