The Democratic National Committee kept track of the donors and expenditures of the conservative anti-Donald Trump Our Principles PAC, documents leaked Thursday reveal.
The documents were part of a larger release of files from the hacker “Guccifer 2.0.” The hacker gained access to the DNC servers in summer of 2015 and lost access after a system reboot on June 12. “Guccifer 2.0” claims to be from Romania and got into the DNC system through software vulnerabilities.
An Excel file leaked — called “Our Principles PAC – Anti Trump” — contains three sections: contributions, expenditures, and independent expenditures. The data from the document matches up with Our Principles PAC’s April FEC filing. That month the group received over $8.3 million dollars in donations.
Our Principles PAC is run by former Romney 2012 deputy campaign manager Katie Packer. Packer previously defended her anti-Trump campaign to The Daily Caller by saying, “well if you don’t think Hillary is going to run those ads, then I think you’re smoking something.” (RELATED: Leaked DNC Files Reveal Some Of Hillary’s ‘Vulnerabilities’)
The anti-Trump group also employs former Jeb Bush presidential campaign communications director Tim Miller. Our Principles PAC is still active to this day and has spent over $18 million so far this election cycle.
