- The O’Rourke campaign’s decision to return the donation was reportedly unrelated to the former crypto billionaire’s business scandals, a spokesman told the Texas Tribune.

- O’Rourke’s failed campaign raised $77 million overall and received seven figure sums from three other donors, including Democratic megadonor George Soros.
