WASHINGTON — A leading Democratic opposition group, American Bridge, is gearing up to play a critical role in an effort to take down, or publicly taint, President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees by enlisting backup from Hillary Clinton’s transition team and sharing in-depth research in meetings with key senators.
The super PAC, which also has a nonprofit arm, is digging into nominees’ past statements, voting records, tax documents, and business ties in detail, passing along their findings to a group of senators and their staff members in an effort to coordinate attacks on Trump’s nominees in confirmation hearings, the group’s founder David Brock told BuzzFeed News, laying out his plans in an interview.
