Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific allegation that a government grant was routed through the Island Institute to benefit the opponent's husband's film company — verifiable through grant records and financial disclosures
What we foundThe claim that grant money signed by Pingree went to the Island Institute and in turn funded her husband's film company is directly contradicted by both Pingree and the Island Institute, and Charles himself has acknowledged that existing public records do not establish the link.
