Since then, campaign finance records show that Nadler, who’s locked in a tight congressional race with Rep. Carolyn Maloney and Suraj Patel, has raked in more than $60,000 from the firm’s chairman Stephen Ross and donors connected to Ross and the firm.

Ross, also an owner of the Miami Dolphins, came under fire in 2019 from the left for hosting a fundraiser for former President Donald Trump.
