独家报道：一个向德克萨斯州民主党竞选活动投入数百万美元的民间政治行动委员会（PAC），因一段曝光的秘密录像而遭到美国司法部（DOJ）的调查。这两位熟悉该事件的消息人士向《Fox News Digital》证实了这一消息。
EXCLUSIVE: A Texas PAC that dumps millions into Democrat campaigns in the Lone Star state is under a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation following a viral undercover video featuring a now-former employee, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed to Fox News Digital.
“我们支付25美元让人们参加一个小时的Zoom课程，让他们了解投票的重要性以及共和党为何会引发所有这些负面后果，”德克萨斯州“多数派PAC”（Texas Majority PAC）的前组织经理Sky McAdams在一段被Townhall获得的录像中对卧底记者说道。
"We are paying people $25 to attend a one hour Zoom class to learn why voting is important and why the Republicans are causing all these bad things," Sky McAdams, a former organizing manager at the Texas Majority PAC told an undercover reporter in a video obtained by Townhall.
“这其实是一种变相的‘收买选票’行为，挺有意思的，”McAdams解释道。当卧底记者询问该项目的正式名称时，McAdams回答说：“它的正式名称是‘付费关系培养计划’（Paid Relational Program）。”他又补充说：“你不能直接付钱让别人投票给你；你可以说‘参加一个小时的课程，就能得到25美元的报酬’，而这个课程的内容主要是关于投票的重要性的。”
"So it's like a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially, which is interesting," said McAdams. When the undercover reporter asked what the program was called, McAdams said it's called the "Paid Relational Program."
“这是一种很有创意的策略……不过目前我们确实需要任何可能的帮助，”记者回应道。
"I think 'Rally Texas' is the official name," McAdams continued. "You can't pay someone to vote for someone. You can't be like, 'Here's $25, go vote for me.' You can say, 'attend a one hour class and you can receive $25,' and then the class just talks about, like, the importance of voting." REPUBLICAN CAVALRY ARRIVES FOR KEN PAXTON AS BIG-BUCKS TEXAS OFFENSIVE OPENS CASH FLOODGATES "It's a creative way to kind of... but right now we could use all the help we can get," the reporter says in response.
“没错，如果我是共和党人，肯定会非常生气。我会觉得这种行为极其不道德、极其可疑，”McAdams也认同这种行为的非法性。
"Yeah, you know, like, if I was a Republican, I'd be pissed. I'd be like, 'that's shady as f---,'" McAdams agreed of the supposed nefarious-ness of the action in his reply.
这段视频在网络上引发了数百万次观看，最终导致了司法部对德克萨斯州“多数派PAC”的调查。
The video has racked up millions of views online, leading to the DOJ probe into the Texas Majority PAC.
该组织由杰森·李（Jason Lee）、凯瑟琳·费舍尔（Katherine Fischer）和克里斯塔尔·泽尔梅尼奥（Crystal Zermeño）等人创立，他们的目标是让德克萨斯州永远成为民主党的根据地。根据Transparency USA的统计，截至2026年第二季度末，该组织在选举活动中已筹集了近1000万美元，并已支出近900万美元；其手头现金余额超过130万美元。
The Texas Majority PAC was founded by "veterans of Texas campaigns" Jason Lee, Katherine Fischer and Crystal Zermeño. The group's mission is to turn Texas permanently blue. According to Transparency USA, by the end of Q2, the PAC had raised nearly $10 million in the 2026 election cycle, and has spent nearly $9 million. It reportedly had more than $1.3 million in cash on hand.
PAC（政治行动委员会）的发言人埃迪·瓦尔（Eddie Vale）向Fox News Digital表示，该视频是真实的，没有经过任何数字处理或欺骗性的剪辑。他还澄清了麦克亚当斯（McAdams）在视频中提到的“关系型组织活动”（relational organizing program）的相关细节。
A spokesperson for the PAC, Eddie Vale, told Fox News Digital that the video is real and has not been digitally altered or deceptively edited. He also clarified details about "relational organizing" program described by McAdams in the video.
塔拉里科（Talarico）在撤回自己那些有争议的言论后表示“说错了”：“我们雇佣德克萨斯州的人参加活动，教他们如何动员自己的朋友和家人参与投票；我们会定期提醒他们去投票，并为他们的工作支付报酬，就像对待任何其他工作一样，”瓦尔说。
TALARICO SAYS HE 'MISSED THE MARK' AS HE BACKTRACKS ON CONTROVERSIAL WOKE STATEMENTS "We hire Texans to join events where they are taught how to organize their friends and family.," he said. "They encourage their friends and family to turn out and vote and send them regular reminders. They are compensated for their organizing work, just like any other job."
“‘Texas Majority PAC’确实开展了一项‘关系型组织活动’，这项活动多年来一直是所有竞选活动的标准做法。参与该活动的成员会因此获得报酬。但某个叛逆的员工对这项工作的描述完全不符合事实，我们立即解雇了那个人。”瓦尔继续说道，“面对德克萨斯州共和党人不断试图剥夺选民投票权的企图，以及右翼媒体对那些试图帮助选民的组织进行的恶意攻击，我们仍会继续确保所有有投票权的人都能行使自己的权利。”
"Texas Majority PAC runs a relational organizing program, which for years has been a standard part of every campaign’s playbook," Vale said. "Participants in the program are being paid for grassroots organizing work. The way it was described by one rogue employee is factually incorrect, not how we operate, and they were immediately fired." "We will continue to ensure that everyone who has the legal right to vote is able to do so in the face of never-ending attempts from Texas Republicans to disenfranchise them and bad faith attacks from right-wing media to silence organizations that try to help them," Vale continued.
与此同时，德克萨斯州的民主党人正在竭力为陷入丑闻的参议院候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科（James Talarico）争取支持。
Meanwhile, Texas Democrats are feverishly attempting to rally support for scandal-plagued Senate candidate James Talarico.
这位左翼候选人最近撤回了自己的一些极端言论，比如支持女性体育赛事中的男性参赛者、以及他之前声称“上帝是非二元性别”的观点。
The left-wing candidate has recently walked back some of his more extreme positions, like support for biological men in women's sports, his previous claims that "God is non-binary" and that there are six sexes.
塔拉里科正在与共和党州检察官肯·帕克斯顿（Ken Paxton）竞争。尽管德克萨斯州历来被视为共和党的传统据点，但选举结果可能会以极微弱的优势分出胜负。
Talarico is running against Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton. Despite the fact that Texas is known as a traditionally red state, the outcome could be decided by a razor thin margin.
麦克亚当斯（McAdams）和“Texas Majority PAC”均未回应Fox News Digital关于此次调查的评论请求。
Neither McAdams nor the Texas Majority PAC returned Fox News Digital's comment requests related to the investigation.
