Jim Webb’s family has made quite a bit of money from his political career.
Webb, a former Democratic senator from Virginia, launched a 2016 presidential exploratory committee last month. During his time in Congress, he chaired another committee, the Born Fighting PAC, which in recent years has paid nearly $100,000 to his wife and daughter.
According to archived versions of its website, the Born Fighting PAC is dedicated to supporting “candidates and entities” who support economic fairness, “reorienting our national security posture,” and developing greater accountability in government.[…]
Campaign finance reports show the committee has not given any money to political candidates or groups since the end of 2010. Yet the PAC has continued to take donations. Over $100,000 from the final balance in Webb’s Senate campaign account, now closed, was transferred to the committee after he left office at the start of last year.
Most of the money Webb’s wife and daughter received from the committee came after it had stopped giving money to politicians and political groups.
