[Conservative Brief] Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) is under serious scrutiny for his donation of more than $50,000 of his campaign funds to his alma mater at Stanford University following revelations that his son is enrolling in the school for his freshman year.Filings in the Federal Election Commission show that Lieu gave four donations amounting to $51,046 to his alma mater, Stanford University, between the years of 2016 and 2018.Fox News reported on Sunday that Lieu’s son is enrolled in the college as a freshman in the class of 2025, according to his Instagram bio, raising questions about whether Lieu’s donation was intended as a quid-pro-quo to the college.
As Fox News highlights, Lieu’s son’s admission into Stanford comes in the wake of the "Varsity Blues" scandal, which saw the kids of rich parents, including actresses Felicity Huffman and Full House’s Lori Loughlin after William Sanger fraudulently inflated their kids’ test scores and bribed college admission officials.
The Twitter account that first raised questions about Lieu’s donation was swiftly banned from the platform after the user posted screenshots of the FEC filings and that of Lieu’s son’s Instagram page.
"This looks very bad," remarked National Review contributor Luke Thompson, highlighting the account’s suspension.
The FEC allows political campaigns to provide financial donations to charitable organizations, including schools, but campaigns are prohibited from using the money for "purposes that personally benefit the candidate."
