President Biden’s record-breaking $1.5 billion campaign fundraising haul was boosted by millions in so-called “dark money” contributions from anonymous donors who will never be identified, according to a report.

The $145 million he received eclipsed the $113 million in dark funds GOP Sen. Mitt Romney took in for his failed 2012 presidential bid against former President Barack Obama and the $24 million former President Donald Trump received, Bloomberg News reported.

Democrats have long condemned such fundraising because it allows the candidate to dodge any scrutiny about the source of their backing.

Priorities USA Action Fund, a super PAC that Biden identified as his preferred group for outside spending, used $26 million originally donated to its nonprofit arm, Priorities USA, to back Biden, Bloomberg reported.

Donors of those funds do not have to be identified.
