Multiple reports say the Democratic National Committee (DNC) lost nearly $29,000 after receiving communications from someone impersonating newly installed DNC Chairman Ken Martin. The scam involved an email contact that the DNC treated as coming from the chairman. The Washington Times reports that the amount is roughly $29,000 and that the full sum was not recovered. Breitbart similarly reports that the DNC lost nearly $29,000 to the impersonator and cites a report published Tuesday. While the outlets describe the incident similarly, both characterize it as an account of the DNC being targeted through impersonation rather than an internal scheme. Details such as the exact timing of the scam, the method used to obtain the funds, and the identity or location of the impersonator are not provided in the excerpts. Overall, the sources agree the DNC was defrauded of about $29,000 by someone posing as Chairman Ken Martin and that not all funds were recovered.
