Report: South Carolina Democrat James Clyburn Showers Relatives with Thousands in Campaign Cash
House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) has reportedly given multiple family members over $200,000 in campaign cash over the recent years.
The number two Democrat in the House showed on his campaign expenditures, reviewedby Fox News, that five relatives have enjoyed the payday from some of his hefty campaign hauls, equaling upwards of $200,000. Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show that those relatives include two of his daughters, their husbands, and a grandson.
The Democrat’s daughter, Jennifer Clyburn Reed, has taken in $45,000 under “consulting” and “campaign management fees” from July and December 2020, accordingto FEC records.
Fox noted that she has also taken in tens of thousands in “office rent,” but the checks are made out to a limited liability company her husband owns rather than making the checks out to them personally. The campaign has spent $62,500 on rent to a company called 49 Magnolia Blossom LLC since March 2020. Business records from the state show that Jennifer Clyburn Reed’s husband, Walter A. Reed, is the agent on the LLC.
