The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) appeared to go back on its 2019 hacked materials pledge by paying the firm behind the leaks of several GOP candidates’ military records during the 2022 campaign.
Back in 2018, the DCCC made its initial hacked materials pledge before doubling down in 2019 during the Mueller report drama and calling on their GOP foil, the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC), to join them in their pledge.
…
In their 2019 pledge, the DCCC vowed they “will never seek out stolen and/or hacked information for use in any operations” and they “will never use known stolen and/or hacked information, or promote or disseminate stolen and/or hacked materials to the press, regardless of the source and will report any receipt of, or offers to receive, stolen and/or hacked information to law enforcement.”
“We will not support any campaign or allied groups that use known stolen and/or hacked information, or promotes or disseminates stolen and/or hacked materials to the press, regardless of the source and will encourage all campaigns to report any receipt of, or offers to receive, stolen and/or hacked information to law enforcement,” the pledge reads.
Last week, it was reported that two additional Republican candidates had their military records improperly released during the 2022 midterm elections by Due Diligence, a Democrat-aligned research firm that the DCCC is still paying as of last week.
Due Diligence Group received more than $110,000 from the DCCC from January 2021 to December 2022, according to FEC records, although it is unknown if the campaign committee used or received these or any other materials from Due Diligence.
Fox News Digital asked the DCCC for comment on appearing to go back on its hacked materials pledge and if the House Democrat campaign arm was still paying Due Diligence.
The DCCC did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
