Eisen wrote three anti-Trump books: “A Case for the American People: The United States v. Donald J. Trump” published in July 2020; “Overcoming Trumpery: How to Restore Ethics, the Rule of Law, and Democracy” in 2022; and “Trying Trump: A Guide to His First Election Interference Criminal Trial” in 2024.
Eisen is now a senior adviser for the States United Democracy Center.(They need to be first radical dem non profit to be investigated by the Trump DOJ in 2024)
In fiscal year 2022, the Hopewell Fund, a nonprofit with services managed by the liberal philanthropy consulting firm Arabella Advisors, provided $1.6 million to the States United Democracy Center, according to Cause IQ, a database of nonprofit groups, as well as the Hopewell Fund’s 990 form.
Nonprofit organizations in the Arabella Advisors networks have been among the largest donors to left-leaning causes in recent years.
The Hopewell Fund was not the original source of funding to States United for Democracy Center. The Hopewell Fund previously served as the center’s fiscal sponsor while it was waiting for tax-exempt status. The fund also facilitated charitable contributions to the center as part of that administrative role.
‘Cabal of Powerful People’
When States United was known as the Voter Protection Program, the organization was mentioned in a Time magazine article as part of “a shadow campaign” in 2020.
The magazine said it was part of a larger “cabal of powerful people ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information. They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it.”
Time’s article quoted Eisen as saying: “The untold story of the election is the thousands of people of both parties who accomplished the triumph of American democracy at its very foundation.”
Other co-founders of the center are former Massachusetts Chief Deputy Attorney General Joanna Lydgate, now CEO of the group, and former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, a Republican who was administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency during President George W. Bush’s first term. Whitman is now on the group’s bipartisan advisory board.
The organization stresses its work has never been about partisanship, but is about the rule of law and free, fair, secure elections.
Its advisory board includes Republicanssuch as Whitman; former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, who challenged Trump for the 2020 GOP presidential nomination; two former George W. Bush administration homeland security secretaries, Michael Chertoff and Tom Ridge (also a former Pennsylvania governor); former U.S. Rep. Tom Coleman, R-Mo; and former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.
States United has noted that it has filed a friend of the court brief on behalf of former Califronia Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, as well as Weld, Whitman, and former Justice Department officials who are Republicans.
