Charles Koch funded eviction push while investing in real estate companies

Between 2017 and 2019, Koch's foundation contributed almost $7.7m to three conservative US groups leading court battle

Billionaire Charles Koch's foundation has bankrolled three conservative legal groups leading the court battle to eliminate prohibitions against tenant evictions during the Covid-19 pandemic in America.

At the same time, Koch's corporate empire has suddenly stepped up its real estate purchases during the pandemic - including making large investments in real estate companies with a potential financial interest in eliminating eviction restrictions.
