Summary

A new FEC disclosure shows the president's main super PAC continues to rely on dark money for the majority of its funding.

The primary pro-President Biden super PAC took in more than $12 million in April from “dark money” groups—organizations that funnel money into politics while masking the funding’s true source. 

According to a Federal Election Commission filing posted last night, Future Forward PAC transferred $10.2 million in April from its affiliate Future Forward USA Action and received a $2.2 million contribution from Bright Future Fund, a mysterious organization whose address is listed as a D.C. registered agent service. These dark money donors provided the majority of the $16.2 million that Future Forward reported raising in April.
