Bernie Sanders pushing campaign cash to wife and stepson's nonprofit raises 'legitimate concern': watchdog

Sen. Bernie Sanders sent six figures worth of campaign cash to his wife and stepson's nonprofit this year, which a watchdog says raises "legitimate concern."

The Sanders Institute appears to perform minimal work while paying out six figures in salary and other compensation to Driscoll, according to its most recent tax forms from 2021.

"The facts present in this case and the family ties involved certainly raise legitimate concern," Kendra Arnold, executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, told Fox News Digital. "Obviously, a senator is not allowed to use his campaign to simply transfer large sums of money to family members — regardless of the route the dollars take."
