ICYMI: President Trump Highlights Tudor Dixon's 'Zuckerbucks' Column
Dixon: Zuckerberg Money to Jocelyn Benson Nonprofit Warrants Investigation
GRAND RAPIDS -- President Donald J. Trump highlighted Wednesday Tudor Dixon's recent column on the $12 million "Zuckerbucks" Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave to a Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson-connected nonprofit:
Dixon wrote the column published at American Greatness citing a report by The Michigan Star that found Zuckerberg gave $12 million to the Michigan Center for Election Law and Administration, which was founded by Benson under another name.
According to that group's tax filing, it gave 99 percent of the funds to two Democrat consulting firms for "educating voters."
What makes Michigan unusual is while Zuckerberg gave a combined $69 million for election-related activities in 23 states, in 22 of them, the funds went to government entities with public oversight. Only in Michigan did the money go to a nonprofit and what makes it highly suspect is the nonprofit was linked with a sitting government official in charge of elections.
As Dixon wrote, "The Michigan House Oversight Committee needs to launch an immediate investigation into Benson’s questionable dealings with this nonprofit and get to the bottom of why Zuckerberg’s 'voter education' money was directed to this organization rather, say, than directly to her agency where it would have been subjected to public oversight (assuming it should have been received at all)."
"I am glad President Trump is bringing attention to this because questions have gone unanswered. The Oversight Committee has the power to get them and they need to before Benson colludes with Zuckerberg and other out-of-state billionaires to manipulate another election," Dixon said.
