WASHINGTON — In the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, major companies and trade associations announced they would at least temporarily halt campaign donations to lawmakers who objected to certifying President Joe Biden’s victory.
Some swore off campaign donations to anyone, regardless where they stood that day, in hopes that would avoid antagonizing either side.
But within months, many of those companies’ political action committees quietly resumed cutting checks as they sought to influence legislation.
