Biden Staff Donate Bail Money
At least 13 Biden campaign staff members posted on Twitter on Friday and Saturday that they made donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which opposes the practice of cash bail, or making people pay to avoid pre-trial imprisonment. The group uses donations to pay bail fees in Minneapolis. Reuters reported the donations, while saying ““But the campaign declined to answer questions on whether the donations were coordinated within the campaign….” Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement to Reuters that the former vice president opposes the institution of cash bail as a “modern day debtors’ prison.” More from Bill Still.
