Trump DOJ investigating Dem group in Texas after viral undercover video sparks massive uproar

The Justice Department has opened an investigation into Texas Majority PAC, a group that funnels millions of dollars into Democratic campaigns in Texas, after a hidden-camera video spread widely online, Fox News Digital reports, citing two sources with knowledge of the matter. The clip has drawn millions of views.

The recording was made by an undercover reporter and obtained by Townhall. It shows Sky McAdams, who used to be an organizing manager for the PAC and has since left, describing an initiative in which people receive $25 for joining a one-hour Zoom session on why voting matters and how Republicans are to blame for various problems. McAdams called the arrangement "a roundabout way of paying people for their votes," gave its name as the "Paid Relational Program," and said the official label is probably "Rally Texas." He noted that paying someone to vote for a candidate is not allowed, so the money is tied to attending the class instead. He also said a Republican would likely find it "shady."

Eddie Vale, a spokesperson for the group, told Fox News Digital that the footage is genuine and was neither digitally manipulated nor misleadingly edited. He also offered clarification about the relational organizing effort McAdams described.

Jason Lee, Katherine Fischer and Crystal Zermeño founded the PAC with the goal of turning Texas permanently blue. Transparency USA data show it raised nearly $10 million this cycle through the second quarter, spent nearly $9 million, and reportedly held over $1.3 million in cash.
