Just a week before the November 8, 2016 presidential election, David Brock, through his American Bridge 21st Century Foundation, secretly gave $200,000 to the prominent sexual-harassment attorney Lisa Bloom to help create a fund that would pay women who were willing to come forward and accuse Republican nominee Donald Trump of having engaged in sexual misconduct with them in prior years. Fashion entrepreneur Susie Tompkins Buell, a longtime friend of Hillary Clinton, gave $500,000 to the same effort.
AB21's president is Rodell Mollineau, a former staffer for Senator Harry Reid. The chairwoman is Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, a former lieutenant governor of Maryland and the eldest child of the late Robert F. Kennedy.
AB21's fundraising efforts have been bolstered greatly by David Brock's network of Media Matters benefactors. Its top contributor is the billionaire philanthropist George Soros, who gave the organization $1 million in 2012 and another $500,000 in 2013. Other leading donors include the AFSCME, Patricia Bauman, Stephen Bing, Peter Lewis, Rob McKay, the National Education Association, Drummond Pike, and the Service Employees International Union.
