A class action lawsuit alleging the Democratic National Committee
worked in junction with Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign to keep Bernie
Sanders out of the White House has been raging on in the courtrooms for
months on end–and yet, most people have no idea of its existence, in
large part thanks to the mainstream media's total lack of coverage.


Jared Beck, a Harvard Law graduate and one of the several attorneys
who filed the suit against the DNC and its former chairperson Debbie
Wasserman Schultz, want retribution for donations made by supporters to
the Vermont senator's campaign, citing six legal claims of the DNC’s
deceptive conduct, negligent misrepresentation and fraud. The DNC
violated Article 5, Section 4 of its own charter by working with a
single campaign to effectively choose who would win the Democratic
ballot, the attorneys stated in the suit.
