Politico: Maxine Waters to return political donation from Silicon Valley Bank
The top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee committee, Rep. Maxine Waters of California, said she plans to return the campaign contribution she received from Silicon Valley Bank.
Waters received $2,500 from SVB’s political action committee in late 2020, when she chaired the committee. “Yes, I will send it back,” she told POLITICO on Tuesday.
The decision reflects the initial political fallout stemming from the bank’s collapse last week, as federal investigators reportedly opened a probe into the largest bank failure since 2008.
Waters recalled speaking with someone from Silicon Valley Bank around 2020 about FinTech issues but said she does not remember details.
