Daniel J. Jones
The Democracy Integrity Project (TDIP) is an advocacy group that purports to investigate
interference in American and international elections by hostile foreign powers. Its work is
based heavily on research and information generated by individuals and organizations
behind the 2016 “Steele dossier” of unsubstantiated attacks on Donald Trump.
It is one of three related organizations run by Daniel J. Jones, a former FBI analyst
and staffer for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and the Senate Intelligence Committee,
who was instrumental in publicizing information about the CIA’s detention and
interrogation practices during the War on Terror.

Jones is TDIP’s president and CEO. The organization’s 2017 tax filings report that Jones worked
full-time for the nonprofit and was paid $381,263 in salary and other compensation for the year.
TDIP is apparently separate from Jones’s research firm Penn Quarter Group, which Jones also runs.
Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) alleged that Jones told the FBI that Penn Quarter “was being
funded by 7 to 10 wealthy donors located primarily in New York and California, who provided approximately $50 million.”
Jones’s third organization, the 501(c)(3) charity Advance Democracy, was founded in 2018 and has not filed public
tax returns as of June 2019. [6] It shares an address with TDIP and is also actively engaged in purporting to
combat Russian election interference: The New York Times reported that it had “flagged a number of suspicious
websites and social media accounts” to authorities as promoting Russian interference in the
2019 European Parliament elections and claimed right-wing groups were using the same tactics. [7]
