Nonprofit groups founded by or affiliated with conservative power broker Leonard Leo have paid more than $100 million over a decade to the consulting firm that he took over four years ago, watchdog group Accountable.US said in a new report.
The sums paid to CRC Advisors by seven nonprofit groups have doubled since Leo came aboard as co-owner and chairman in 2020, according to the figures in the report, which marks the most recent and comprehensive accounting of the money flowing from a number of Leo-connected nonprofits to CRC.
