[Free Beacon] A political action committee associated with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) has been silent about its contributions from liberal donor Ed Buck, who had a second man die in his Los Angeles apartment earlier this week.The House Majority PAC, which helps elect Democrats in Congress's lower chamber, took $5,000 from Buck during the 2014 election cycle, but has yet to address the donations. The PAC did not respond to numerous questions from the Washington Free Beacon this week about any plans to refund or donate his contributions.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), who took a total of $30,000 from Buck during the 2016 and 2018 election cycles, has also been mum on its donations from the megadonor. The Washington Examiner’s Alana Goodman reached out to the DCCC earlier this week about the donations but says she has yet to receive a response.
The DCCC did not immediately return a request for comment on the money it has received from Buck.
While the Pelosi-linked PAC and the DCCC have avoided addressing the donations, Rep. Ted Lieu (D., Calif.) announced after the Free Beacon inquired about donations from Buck that the congressman would give away the $18,500 he received to his campaign committee over the years to five left-wing charities and organizations. Lieu said he would be giving the funds to Lambda Legal, NAACP, GLAAD, the Trevor Project, and the Equality California Institute.
