Description: Senator Sheldon Whitehouse exposes dark money corruption in America's courts during a hearing on voting rights. Senator Whitehouse outlines the manner in which corporations, billionaires, and special interests anonymously choose the judges and Supreme Court justices that Presidents, including Donald Trump, then nominate. These dark money organizations were involved in the nomination and confirmation process of SCOTUS judges Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. Senator Whitehouse, a Democrat who supported the candidacy of Joe Biden, has long been a proponent of overturning Citizens United to shift political power from billionaires to everyday Democrat, Republican, & Independent American citizens.
