EXCLUSIVE — Political action committees representing trial lawyers funnel millions of dollars to far-left causes and groups, according to a consumer protection report.
The firms, which are known for representing large groups of clients in class-action lawsuits ranging from opioids to asbestos, have an overwhelmingly leftward orientation, represented by the money given by the political wings of their trade associations, according to federal filings.
While it is"pretty well known" that trial lawyers give substantial sums to Democrats, Skinner said,"what's interesting here is that you see organizations that are to the left of even your average Democratic politician running for office. These are beyond the partisanship or the ideology of just the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee."
The other three were Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Cheri Beasley, who was trying to unseat Sen. Thom Tillis in 2022, Senate Majority PAC, and House Majority PAC. EMILY's List, which works to elect pro-abortion women"up and down the ballot," received $300,000 from the trial lawyer PACs in 2022 and $650,000 since 2017.
Skinner is sending the report to every Republican attorney general in the country, accompanied by a letter exclusively obtained by the Washington Examiner.
