Former President Donald Trump dropped a potentially reputation-ending bomb on Nikki Haley’s campaign on Saturday.
Speaking at a New Hampshire rally, Trump pointed to a recent article in the Washington Examiner tying the New Hampshire state director for the former governor’s campaign to a Biden-supporting organization that Glenn Beck once described as a “dark money-funneling network.”
“It was reported that Nikki Haley’s State Director in New Hampshire — this is a very bad one, listen carefully — Tyler Clark, did anyone ever hear of him? He was a lobbyist for the Sixteen Thirty Fund which is managed by Arabella Advisors, which is the largest Democrat dark money network in the country and considered Public Enemy Number One!” Trump told the crowd. “That’s who’s managing her campaign.”
Trump made an ABSOLUTELY EXPLOSIVE REVELATION about Nikki Haley tonight at his rally in New Hampshire!

According to The Examiner, “Sixteen Thirty Fund, which is being investigated by the Washington, D.C., attorney general’s office over financial mismanagement allegations along with the broader Arabella network, doled out more than $410 million in 2020 to boost Democrats and help unseat former President Donald Trump, all thanks to billionaire donors such as George Soros.”
The Examiner reported:
Clark’s prior clients through Preti Strategies, where he was a public and government affairs adviser until June 2023, are likely to bolster concerns among conservatives that Haley is too “establishment” and could cave to Democratic demands if she became president, as well as potentially hire personnel with close relationships to liberal activist hubs.
The Sixteen Thirty Fund-linked disclosures and other filings listing the lobbyist’s name were personally signed by Clark, who was required to “hereby swear or affirm that the foregoing information is true and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.”
Beck broke down the background to Arabella Advisors back in 2022.
You probably haven’t heard of Arabella Advisors, but you’ve heard of all the policies its dark money-funneling network is promoting. Anonymous donors pour money into Arabella’s 5 funds, which then give it to hundreds of progressive nonprofits disguised as grassroots movements. pic.twitter.com/jBPbLZcuig

According to Influence Watch, “Arabella Advisors manages six nonprofits that serve as incubators and accelerators for a range of other left-of-center nonprofits: the New Venture Fund, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, the Hopewell Fund, the Windward Fund, the North Fund, and the Impetus Fund. These nonprofits have collectively hosted hundreds of left-wing policy and advocacy organizations since the network’s creation (referred to by critics as ‘pop-up groups’ because they are little more than websites.).”
In November 2021, The Atlantic, a liberal-leaning magazine, described the Sixteen Thirty Fund as “the indisputable heavyweight of Democratic dark money.”
“Does that tell you something perhaps?” Trump asked about Clark’s ties to the group.
Arabella and the Sixteen Thirty Fund are giving Haley “a lot of money,” he said, “because they want her to win.”
“The fact that Nikki is working with someone who is directly connected with them confirms what most everyone already KNEW to be true…” stated one user on X. “NIKKI HALEY IS A DEMOCRAT PLANT.”
