How No Labels Went From Preaching Unity to Practicing the Dark Arts
Internal documents show a group funded by the biggest names in finance.



The group also enlisted some of its top supporters to try to court high net-worth individuals on its behalf. Lieberman and Bayh have been integral to those efforts, personally soliciting donors on phone calls and in meetings. And they’ve been remarkably successful. According to internal documents obtained by The Daily Beast, some of the most prominent executives from Fortune 500 companies and leading financial-services firms have contributed to No Labels’ 501(c)(4) dark-money group and its affiliated 501(c)(3) charitable arm. They include:

Josh Bekenstein, CEO of Bain Capital, who gave $250,000 in 2015.
John Douglas Arnold, head of Centaurus Advisors, LLC, who gave $200,000 in 2017.
