Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama still aren't saying what they
will do with money they received from Democratic megadonor Ed
Buck, even after he was charged Tuesday with running a drug
house where two men died of overdoses -- and months after other
top Democrats have tossed aside Buck's contributions.
Buck, 65, has donated more than $500,000 to a range of
Democratic groups and politicians, including tens of thousands
of dollars to California candidates such as Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Buck is also well known in LGBTQ political circles.
He came under investigation in January after 55-year-old Timothy
Dean was found dead of an accidental methamphetamine overdose in
his apartment. It was the second such death in two years,
following the July 2017 death of Gemmel Moore, 26.
The January episode prompted many Democrats to cut ties with
Buck. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC)
told Fox News at the time it was "deeply disturbed" by Buck's
alleged conduct, and quickly donated his thousands of dollars of
contributions to the NALEO Education Fund.
Other politicians also distanced themselves from Buck, and vowed
to get rid of his campaign contributions.
“I am deeply disturbed by the latest revelations of a second
death by overdose at the home of Ed Buck,” California Democratic
Rep. Ted Lieu said in January, announcing plans to donate more
than $18,000 in contributions to civil rights charities.
“I received a campaign contribution from Ed Buck and have
donated the amount I received to a local charity, the Kenneth
Young Center, to combat drug addiction,” Rep. Raja
Krishnamoorthi of Illinois also said earlier this year.
But former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former
President Barack Obama remained quiet on the subject in January -
- and their spokespeople on Wednesday didn't respond to Fox
News' request for comment on what they would do with their
donations from Buck.
Buck donated at least $1,500 to Obama and $2,950 to Clinton,
according to federal records. Obama has recently waded into the
2020 presidential race, and met this week with youth climate
activist Greta Thunberg.
Even as Clinton and Obama stayed silent, The Los Angeles County
Democratic Party praised Buck's arrest on Wednesday and said
progressive activists deserved credit.
"For our community, a predator with a Jekyll and Hyde
personality is now off the streets," the LACDP said. "And it is
due to the ongoing support and pressure from many activists and
community groups including Black Lives Matter, Jasmyne Cannick
and more."
The LACDP told Fox News that they had not received money from
Buck, and urged other Democrats to "be conscientious" on the
matter.
"The LA Dems have not received money from Ed Buck in my tenure,"
LACPD Chair Mark J. González said in an email. "Outside our
County party, I would strongly encourage Democrats to be
conscientious of the contributions they receive."
