Priorities USA was Hillary Clinton’s most powerful PAC in her campaign against President Donald Trump. (h/t HRC’s Field Sobriety Test).
Buzzfeed is the news organization that ran the debunked Trump dossier and a false story about Michael Cohen that was disputed by Robert Mueller’s office.
Earlier today, Buzzfeed ran a puff piece on Priorities USA headlined “Democrats’ Top Super PAC Has Pledged Not To Use Hacked Material In The 2020 Campaign.”
