Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker received more than $900,000 from a conservative nonprofit that attacks Democrats on ethical grounds.

The discovery is part of the financial disclosure forms that Whitaker is required to disclose after replacing Jeff Sessions.

Whitaker served as executive director of a nonprofit called the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, or FACT, from 2016 to 2017.

Whitaker also disclosed $15,000 in income from CNN, where made appearances and criticized the special counsel investigation that he may try to take over.

In addition, Whitaker received $103,400 from his own law firm and $1,875 in legal fees from the controversial, Florida-based World Patent Market, which is accused of bilking consumers out of millions of dollars.

President Trump

President Trump has finally submitted his written answers to Robert Mueller’s questions about the president’s knowledge of Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

The written response avoids – for now – a sit-down interview with special counsel prosecutors.

For nearly a year, the president’s attorneys have negotiated with prosecutors over Trump’s testimony in the 19-month investigation.

Mueller’s team provided dozens of questions to Trump’s attorneys to determine how much the president knew about Russia’s involvement in the election.
