MLB Suspending All Political Donations After Pro-Trump Mob Breached Capitol

Major League Baseball has put a halt on all political contributions after a pro-President Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

"In light of the unprecedented events last week at the U.S. Capitol, MLB is suspending contributions from its Political Action Committee pending a review of our political contribution policy going forward," the league said in a statement, per Jake Seiner of the Associated Press.

The Office of The Commissioner's PAC has donated $669,375 to Senate and House candidates since the 2016 election cycle.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the committee donated $112,500 to candidates for the House of Representatives during the 2020 election cycle.
