SCOOP from @duboo at @EXPOSEDbyCMD:

Who funds The Federalist?

GOP megadonor Richard Uihlein, the billionaire CEO of shipping supply company Uline.

In August 2019, his family foundation gave $400,000 to the @FDRLST Media Foundation. https://beta.documentcloud.org/documents/20420215-ed-uihlein-family-foundation-2019-990

You saw it here first! @duboo obtained the 2019 990 tax record from the Ed Uihlein Family Foundation.

Uihlein is the 5th-biggest donor to outside political spending groups this year (at least $62.9 million). https://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/summ.php?cycle=2020&disp=D&type=V&superonly=N

FDRLST Media Foundation got its nonprofit status in March 2019, so we will likely see more donations as other 2019 tax records from rightwing oligarchs come in.

We also know a few other details about The Federalist's finances.

The George E. Coleman Jr. Foundation, led by former National Review chair Daniel Oliver, is an investor in FDRLST Media. https://twitter.com/andrewperezdc/status/1155938555409006592?s=20

And the co-founder of the increasingly rightwing RealClearPolitics, John McIntyre, is a director of FDRLST Media. Jenn McIntyre is a director and executive. At the time of this SEC filing, RCP & FDRLST shared the same address. https://www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2018/12/17/who-funds-the-federalist-an-interactive

....and there's more.

DonorsTrust, the "dark money ATM" of the conservative movement, gave $250,000 to FDRLST Media Foundation in 2019. https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/20419320/donorstrust-2019-990.pdf
