Maybe Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley should look into the McCaskill foundation’s initially undisclosed payment to the Russians related to a dinner at their ambassador’s house
Sen. McCaskill’s family foundation pays the Russians
As if Washington didn’t have enough Russian scandals, or supposed scandals, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) has provided another one. The Washington Free Beacon’s Brent Scher recently reported that Sen. McCaskill used a philanthropic foundation that she and her husband, Joseph Shepard, created in 2013—the Shepard Family Foundation in St. Louis—”to pay for a dinner she attended at Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak’s Washington, D.C., residence” in honor of a Missouri congressman in 2015.
The Shepard Family Foundation supports many nonprofit organizations, most of them in Missouri. But in 2015 it also paid $873 to the American-Russian Cultural Cooperation Foundation, Scher reports, where Russian Amb. Sergey Kislyak is honorary chairman of the board.
