< < Go Back
Over the past week, several Republican senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee may have stumped viewers by mentioning something called Arabella Advisors during a televised Supreme Court confirmation hearing.
Take the line of questioning used by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on the second day of the hearing for the nominee, D.C. Circuit Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Graham asked Jackson: “What is it about your nomination that the most liberal people under the umbrella of Arabella threw in their money, their time, their support and threatened [President] Joe Biden if he picked Childs?”
Jackson replied that she didn’t know.
Washington-based Arabella Advisors has gained attention even from left-leaning media outlets.
The Atlantic magazine called Arabella’s network of nonprofits “the massive progressive dark money group you’ve never heard of.” Politico referred to the Sixteen Thirty Fund, the advocacy arm of the Arabella nonprofit network, as both a “little-known” and “massive” dark money group that spent $140 million in the 2018 election cycle.
The New York Times reported: “The system of political financing, which often obscures the identities of donors, is known as dark money, and Arabella’s network is a leading vehicle for it on the left.”
