Description

We're following up on the last episode of Swamp Stories by taking a deeper dive into the world of "dark money" and examining a once rare strategy that's used to funnel this unaccountable cash through 501(c)(4)s and into the hands of super PACs — all while keeping the identities of the original donors in the shadows.

With the help of his guests, Weston shines a light on how this strategy works and explores legislative steps that Congress could take to make dark money less secretive.

Guests:

  • Former Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA) 
  • Danielle Caputo, Legislative Affairs and Programs Counsel at Issue One
  • Anna Massoglia, Investigative Researcher at OpenSecrets
