President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is once again raising questions about politicization after moving to dismiss a fraud case against the chairman of DISH Network following a huge financial transaction to Biden’s reelection campaign.
The New York Post reported that the suspicions were raised because the department, which rarely intervenes in such cases, stepped in after CEO Charlie Ergen and his wife donated more than $113,000 to Biden’s campaign in recent months.
The Post reported:
Ergen, a former professional poker player who helped launch what was then called EchoStar Communications in 1980, has battled the federal fraud claim for nearly a decade.
But the Tennessee native saw his luck change shortly after he and spouse Candy contributed $100,000 to Biden’s super PAC and maxed out with matching $6,600 donations to the president’s principal campaign committee in December, according to campaign finance filings.
