Cash-Strapped DNC, DCCC Pay Hillary's 'Resistance' Group Nearly $900,000 Combined For List Acquisitions

The cash-strapped Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee have combined to pay Hillary Clinton's "Resistance" group nearly $900,000 for list acquisitions, Federal Election Commission filings show.

The DNC, which is in the midst of facing financial hardships, conjured up $300,000 on Jan. 8 to pay Onward Together, Clinton's group, for "List acquisition," according to the FEC filings.

The DCCC also paid hundreds of thousands to Clinton's "Resistance" group for "Generic committee list rental" between mid-December and late January.

In January, two more payments were made to Clinton's group in the amounts of $139,242.

Clinton launched Onward Together in April of last year after saying that she intended to be a part of the "Resistance" against President Donald Trump.

"From the Women's March to airports across the country where communities are welcoming immigrants and refugees to town hall meetings in every community, Americans are speaking out like never before," Clinton wrote shortly after the group's formation.

Throughout 2017, Onward Together sent more than $1 million to a number of progressive organizations, an employee of the group previously told the Washington Free Beacon.
