A Manhattan prosecutor currently involved in former President Donald Trump’s contentious “hush money” trial, previously received significant payments from the Democratic Party, a recent discovery reveals. According to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records unearthed by Fox News, Matthew Colangelo was compensated by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) during Trump’s initial year as president, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.
Documents indicate that on January 31, 2018, Colangelo received two payments of $6,000 each from the DNC Services Corp./Democratic National Committee. The DNC has labeled these transactions, which totaled $12,000, as “Political Consulting” fees. At the time, Colangelo held the position of deputy attorney general for social justice under then-New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. Following Schneiderman’s resignation amid sexual assault allegations, Barbara Underwood took over as New York’s top law enforcement official and sued the Trump Foundation for alleged misuse of donations. Colangelo was a part of Underwood’s team during this period.
