A political action committee affiliated with Nancy Pelosi threw its support behind electoral novice Carrick Flynn in the 6th Congressional District primary shortly after receiving a $6 million donation from the cryptocurrency billionaire backing Flynn.
Bahamas-based cryptocurrency billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried made the donation to the House Majority PAC on April 4, Federal Election Commission filings show. The donation came seven days before it became public that the House Majority PAC was spending about $1 million on TV ads in support of Flynn, who lost the seat to state lawmaker Andrea Salinas of Lake Oswego.
