What is ‘smurfing’? Mike Berry breaks down illegal election donation scheme
Mike Berry, Executive Director of America First Policy Institute’s Center for Litigation, explains how “smurfing” evades FEC reporting requirements and creates the illusion of thousands of small-dollar donors to a campaign. “The defendant in this case is actually John Doe because we don’t know who’s actually the one that is funneling this money to these far-left causes. But we want to find out who it is and we want to put a stop to it,” he says.
