Center for AI Safety Action Fund — Lobbying Spend: $490,000
The claim states total 2024 federal lobbying spend of $490,000 (in-house $270K + Akin Gump $160K + Michael Best $60K). However, the OpenSecrets source page explicitly shows only $270,000 as the 'Total Lobbying Expenditures, 2024' for Center for AI Safety Action Fund. The source does not display the additional $160K (Akin Gump) + $60K (Michael Best) = $220K that would be needed to reach $490K. The OpenSecrets figure of $270K contradicts the claimed total of $490K. The additional context mentions Senate LDA filings as verification, but the OpenSecrets source (which aggregates such data) shows a significantly lower figure.
