At least 13 Biden campaign staff members made donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a nonprofit organization that pays criminal bail.Reuters conducted an investigation where they found that at least 13 Biden campaign staffers donated to the Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF). However, no evidence exists to suggest that donated funds came directly from the campaign. Previously it has been incorrectly claimed that Biden’s campaign donated $20 million to bail out protesters. The MFF as a whole raised $20 million in four days from at least 150,000 individual donors, including staffers associated with Biden’s campaign, according to a report by Forbes.
