Democrat Donor Partnered With Foreign Fund Accused of Embezzling Billions

A major Democratic donor who partnered with a Malaysian fund that allegedly embezzled billions of dollars and is under investigation by the Department of Justice has maxed out contributions to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) this year, filings show.

Frank White Jr., the cofounder and CEO of DuSable Capital Management, a D.C.-based renewable energy and infrastructure firm, has been a deep-pocketed funder of Democratic candidates for years.

White acted as the national vice-chair for President Obama's 2012 reelection campaign and was a top bundler for the campaign. White later served as a member of Hillary Clinton's National Finance Committee and bundled more than $100,000 for the 2016 campaign, while adding between $10,000 and $25,000 in donations to the Clinton Foundation.

White, who has given hundreds of thousands to Democrats over the years, on March 22 sent a maxed out contribution of $33,900 to the DCCC, the Democrats fundraising arm for congressional candidates, according to filings.
