Bernie Sanders wired $200K in campaign money to family nonprofit

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) campaign committee wired $200,000 to a nonprofit established by his wife and step son earlier this year, filings show.

The Friends of Bernie Sanders made the payments to the Sanders Institute in two installments of $100,000 in January and March, according to disclosures with the Federal Election Commission.

The senator’s wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, and stepson, David Driscoll, co-established the think tank and unveiled it publicly in 2017 after Sanders’ insurgent 2016 presidential campaign catapulted him to stardom among progressives.

    So, the opposite of Clinton?
