The group did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital."We all know that the DCCC is broke, but apparently they’re so desperate for cash they’ll cling to $2,500 through a prostitution scandal," Mike Marinella, a National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson, said in a statement to Fox News Digital.For his own part, York has a long history of donating to prominent Democrats going back to 2012, including contributions to Kamala Harris’ Senate campaign in 2015, Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid in 2016 and Rep.Ro Khanna's, D-Calif., reelection bid in 2024.KHANNA TORCHES DEMOCRATS FOR RUNNING 'STATUS QUO' CANDIDATES, ADMITS WORKING-CLASS VOTERS WERE ‘SHAFTED’Former Vice President Kamala Harris speaks during a panel discussion at the Austrian World Summit of the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative on June 16, 2026, in Vienna, Austria.
