Questions have mounted about former Vice President Joe Biden’s family connections to Ukraine — and allegations that Biden misused his power for his son’s financial gain.
But he’s not the only major 2020 Democratic presidential candidate facing questions about family corruption.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has her own problems now that her daughter has been implicated in major campaign finance scandal.
Warren has recently jumped to frontrunner status in the 2020 Democratic race. New polls show she’s neck-and-neck with Biden.
And it’s all thanks to dirty money, critics say.
Amelia Warren Tyagi is the oldest child and only daughter of Warren. Along with Warren’s 2020 presidential campaign treasurer, Tyagi is also a chairperson of a high-powered liberal think tank called Demos.
Demos has recently started donating generously to the far-left group Working Families Party (WFP). Demos donated over $45,000 to WFP in 2017-2018 fiscal year.
“This is significant because the Working Families Party just issued a surprise endorsement of Elizabeth Warren for president,” Twitchy reported Tuesday — and the endorsement “stinks to high heaven.”
NEWS: Think tank @Demos_Org gave @WorkingFamilies Party $45,000 in 2017-2018. @ewarren's daughter Amelia is chairwoman of Demos. Despite this, she is currently not listed on Demos website (but it still shows up on Google).

The news reportedly has supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-V.T. — a Democratic rival of Warren — crying foul.
Working Families Party endorsed Sanders by 87 percent of their vote during the 2016 Democratic presidential primary.
Now that the group shocked Sanders campaign with their Warren endorsement, they’re reportedly refusing to disclose the vote totals.
It has some liberals very mad —
Working Families Party has still not released vote totals. Utterly embarrassing

Additionally, the donation by Warren’s daughter’s group was never disclosed by the Working Families Party to their members.
Critics say that’s a move right out of the Hillary Clinton dirty politics playbook.
Lastly, and maybe the MOST troubling…Warren's campaign treasurer is STILL on the board of @Demos_Org—who donated $45K to @WorkingFamilies. This also was not disclosed by WFP. THIS STINKS TO THE HIGH HEAVENS. https://t.co/L5vjN4nJaK

Critics say the group “got a signal from big donors” that they’d only get funds if Working Families Party endorsed Warren, not Sanders.
Socialist magazine Jacobin’s editor-in-chief, a Sanders supporter, wrote:
If the WFP views bottom-up organizing, of and by a multiracial working class, as a core necessity to win social change, why would the party endorse Warren, whose campaign has catalyzed neither — especially over Sanders, whose campaign has?
In other words, the editor-in-chief believes that Sanders should without question get the support form WFP. They speculated that WFP has “something to hide,” and claimed that “members were likely divided between Warren and Sanders.”
And it all links straight back to Warren’s daughter and her liberal think tank’s giant sack of cash.
Turns out that Biden’s family isn’t the only dirty money game in town.
