The political research group that received improper access to the private military records of several House Republican candidates in 2022 received payments from two Democratic campaign committees during the midterm cycle, according to election filings.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign, which seeks to elect Democrats to the Senate, gave the Due Diligence Group $173,000 during the 2022 election cycle as well as another three payments of more than $30,000 after the election, according to the Federal Election Commission. Additionally, the political research firm received more than $110,000 from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee between January 2021 and December 2022, filings show.
Bacon first learned of the unauthorized release of information during a conversation with the secretary of the Air Force on Feb. 2, according to the letter. The Air Force Personnel Center received multiple requests for Bacon’s military records on Nov. 9 from Abraham Payton, a background investigation analyst with Due Diligence Group.
The improper release of records has prompted an outcry from several Republicans, particularly after it was discovered that Due Diligence Group analyst Payton previously worked as a research director for the Democratic political group American Bridge. Bacon accused the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee of obtaining the records for political use, calling the incident “concerning.” It’s not clear whether the DCCC obtained or used the military record information, and the committee has not responded to a request for comment by the Washington Examiner.
