House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Friday demanded that the founder of a newly created entity provide answers about its formation after he began an investigation into a dark money group.

In mid-November, Comer pressed the Sixteen Thirty Fund and Sunflower Services for documents related to the Chorus influencer program, which led to what he called a "disturbing pattern" of restructurings. Sixteen Thirty Fund asserted that the Chorus program was a project of its operation and not an independent entity. But Comer later found that "Chorus" was registered under the Creator Collective, an entity formed just days after the Oversight Committee's first request for information.

"The Committee finds the sequence and circumstances surrounding this change of control dubious at best. The opacity surrounding the legal separation between Chorus and the Sixteen Thirty Fund suggests efforts to conceal the change from the Committee and the public," Comer wrote to the founder of the Creator Collective.

Comer specifically demanded that the Creator Collective provide all documents it has related to the 1630 fund, materials related to the Chorus program and Creator Collective's involvement with it, and a number of other materials.
