The Daily Beast: Emails Reveal ‘Jaw-Dropping’ Herschel Walker Money Scandal
Herschel Walker solicited hundreds of thousands of dollars for his own business from a billionaire donor, with the donor believing he was giving to Walker’s campaign.
CREW just filed a complaint calling for an immediate investigation and enforcement action against Herschel Walker for serious violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act.
We’ll explain more below, but first, we’re asking you to make a donation to CREW to support our work to hold Hershel Walker accountable if he violated campaign finance laws →
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
In 2022, Herschel Walker emailed his friend, billionaire Dennis Washington, asking for a donation to his Senate campaign. Walker had Washington wire $535,200 into an account for a company called HR Talent, LLC. This was a firm owned by Walker that was never disclosed in his financial statements.
Let's break this down: Walker wasn’t just asking for donations to his campaign that were much higher than the legal limit, he was soliciting hundreds of thousands of dollars for his own personal company — a company that he never disclosed to the public.
Experts are calling this one of the most egregious campaign finance violations in modern history.
If these allegations are true, Herschel Walker violated federal campaign finance rules, or even committed fraud. Frankly, we’ve never seen anything like this before (and we’ve seen a lot).
That’s why CREW filed an FEC complaint against Walker. We need your help to hold him accountable if these claims are true. Click here to read the complaint, and then make a donation to support CREW’s work to get to the bottom of this scandal →
The emails obtained and verified by The Daily Beast show that Washington was under the impression that these were political contributions.
The donor says Walker returned the money to Washington after he was asked to do so, but that doesn’t change the fact that he apparently solicited excessive contributions and tried to send hundreds of thousands of dollars meant for his campaign to his business.
If that proves to be true, this would be an illegal scheme unparalleled in its audacity and scope.
We need answers John. Support our efforts at CREW to expose the truth, and to hold Hershel Walker accountable if he has violated campaign finance laws →
Thanks for taking action,
