Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg's top political donors received millions of dollars in city contracts after giving thousands to his campaigns while he was mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
Buttigieg's political action committees took money from 23 companies who then got jobs from South Bend's Board of Public Works on which he was seated, documents obtained by DailyMail.com reveal.
On two occasions, the former presidential candidate received donations the same day the companies were awarded contracts.
Other city contractors gifted the mayor cigars, alcohol and golf trips worth hundreds of dollars.
The companies, their executives and spouses donated a total $253,750 to Buttigieg's campaigns, and received a total of at least $33,280,426 in city contracts between 2011 and 2019.

Not only is he sick, he’s an evil bast*rd.
$250,000? Pfft...what a trifle. I hope he is sitting on the knee of the Big Guy and taking lessons and copious notes.
Hunter Biden laughs at such amateurish attempts at a shakedown.
IT’s okay, he used the money on breast pumps for feeding...
Republicans need to do as the democrats would. Open an investigation and drag it out until after the Election. Release tidbits of info and spin a narrative no matter how outlandish. Keep pushing. Add donors and other democrats to the investigated. Then if there is no crime, quietly go away after the reputational damage is done. Add some reporters with close connections to the list to be investigated.
It is OK. He has a (D) after his name. No harm, no foul
Hillary eliminating the competition?
Crash! This news will destroy Buttigieg’s political career.
Oh, wait. Buttigieg is a gay Democrat. So I suppose the author of this article will be arrested for writing something homophobic instead.
This is what stimulus and infrastructure is all about, paying off donors. obumber was the master of this.
Like being a fag isn’t enough for people.
“It is OK. He has a (D) after his name. No harm, no foul”
...and Pete loves the ‘D’
What would we do without the UK press?
American MSM is worthless as tits on a boar hog.
“if there is no crime,” Sounded to me that it was established that there was some crime. If what was said about Buttiegieg was true, I’d say there was a crime,so investigating before the election should be completely acceptable....EXCEPT for the fact that he is a Democrat, so it is rather meaningless by their terms. It’s certainly something the Dems would go forward with if the suspect was a Republican, so turnabout is surely fair play.
Someone wake up the sleepy GOP. Start the hearings.
Yeah, butt he will be in trouble if he didn’t give the big guy his piece of this. Whoever the big guy is.
“IT’s okay, he used the money on breast pumps for feeding...”
....I also heard he slipped the doc a few extra benjamins to put a couple extra stitches in his episiotomy, (a gift for his hubby)
Ok...I’ll stop now. Just too damn easy
My, what got this person forced out of office (and it was probably on a lesser scale compared to the Democrat).
