Super PAC funded by Ted Cruz's podcast deal gave $1 million to back his campaign
Despite U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz's prior statements that he has no direct involvement with a super PAC funded by a distribution deal for his podcast, federal records show that same PAC is bankrolling his campaign's field operations. Truth and Courage PAC — an entity partially funded by a deal Cruz struck with San Antonio-based radio company iHeartMedia to carry his podcast — shelled out $1 million in the second quarter to pay for door knocking and phone banking by the Texas Republican's reelection campaign. The expenditures, paid to political consulting group Catamaran Consulting, were recorded in Truth and Courage's Sept. 4 filing with the Federal Election Commission.
