map2. It should be removed.The Government Accountability Institute (GAI) is a right-wing think tank located in Tallahassee, Florida. GAI was founded in 2012 by Peter Schweizer and Steve Bannon with funding from Robert Mercer and family. Schweizer serves as the group's president.
The group's stated goal is to investigate and expose government corruption, misuse of taxpayer money, and crony capitalism. It is registered as a nonpartisan organization, but is largely focused on investigations of allegations related to the Democratic Party with many of the claims being later debunked or considered dubious.
