“Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu took in $19,400 in state and federal donations from Buck.
Lieu’s campaign says after the second death at Buck’s home, they donated the contributions they received to various charities.
Buck gave Adam Schiff, now chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, $2,700 in 2016.
The campaign says the money went to the nonprofit Trevor Project.”

In the immediate aftermath of the second death, Los Angeles activists organized protests, demanding justice for the two men in front of Buck’s house; they believe that law enforcement failed to fully investigate Buck in 2017 because of his close ties to elected officials, as well as differences in race and class.
