Michael Bloomberg's 2020 campaign appears to have plagiarized policy plans from several nonprofit groups and other websites.
The plans appeared on the campaign's website and in fact sheets emailed to reporters. They have since been changed.
The Intercept compared Bloomberg's campaign plans to the websites of several nonprofit, educational, and policy groups and found that several sections on Bloomberg's 2020 pledges appeared to be lifted word-for-word from other sources.
The Intercept found more than a dozen instances in which Bloomberg's campaign plans or accompanying fact sheets — containing plans for maternal health, LGBTQ equality, the economy, tax policy, infrastructure, and mental health — featured identical wording from other sites. These sources included CNN, Time, CBS, the American Medical Association, and an infrastructure fund cofounded by Bloomberg.
