WASHINGTON — Speaker of the House-nominee Kevin McCarthy received some $2 million from a co-founder of FTX, the crypto startup that cost investors more than $8 billion and prompted numerous federal investigations for fraud and misuse of funds.

 

FTX co-founder Ryan David Salame gave $8,700 directly to Rep. McCarthy’s 2022 congressional campaign, and chipped in another $2 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund, which McCarthy controlled, according to Federal Election Commission reports.

 

It is unclear whether McCarthy plans to return the donations, or if his office has pledged to cooperate the Securities and Exchange Commission’s FTX investigation or other federal and state probes.
