O’Rourke’s campaign said they gave the money back before the company’s scandals became widely public, because they were taken aback by such a large unsolicited donation.
Salame gave $12,900 to Jackson and $1,000 each to De La Cruz and Garcia. He also donated $5,000 to Texas Red, a political action committee affiliated with Jackson., a Republican who defeated O’Rourke earlier this month, has been critical of Bankman-Fried’s donations to the Democrat.. “Candidates who received this tainted money should return it so that innocent customers of FTX can get some of their money back.
Major Democratic figures like U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York havethey would give the donations they got from Bankman-Fried to charity. Durbin received $2,900 and Gillibrand received $16,600. Republicans, like U.S. Rep. Kevin Hern of Oklahoma, have also opted to donate their contributions to charity.
As more politicians start giving the donations back, Libowitz said, it increases the pressure on those who haven’t opted to do so.
