Biden Ally Involved With $60M Dark Money 2020 Strategy Center Shutters PAC

An ally of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden who is part of a group that launched a "dark money" strategy center that plans to spend $60 million during the 2020 elections has shuttered a separate political action committee that was created to provide support for the former vice president, Federal Election Commission filings show.
Matt Tompkins, a Democratic fundraiser, submitted paperwork to the FEC on April 24 establishing the Biden PAC. That same day, additional paperwork was submitted changing the name of the entity from the Biden PAC to the G Street PAC while also removing Tompkins as its treasurer. The PAC would eventually be named For the People and spend millions backing Biden. Biden's communications director, Kate Bedingfield, put distance between the campaign and the PAC and told the Hill that Biden "does not welcome assistance from super PACs."
Tompkins is also involved with a $60 million dark money "strategy center" for the 2020 elections, the Washington Free Beacon previously reported.
