The Dan Markel Case: A Billionaire Speaks Out In Defense Of Wendi Adelson
Wendi Adelson 'had nothing to do with this tragic event,' he claims.
Wendi Adelson
She appropriately disclosed the terrible circumstances [surrounding the murder of her ex-husband Dan Markel] to us prior to her appointment as our Executive Director, and we made inquires that confirmed her lack of involvement. We express our support of her as she navigates the impacts of this loss and media interest in the case. She continues to be a dedicated mother and leader of the IMPAC Fund despite these challenges.
— Mike Fernandez, the billionaire founder of the Immigration Partnership and Coalition (IMPAC) Fund, in an email to IMPAC supporters about Wendi Adelson, who was named executive director of the pro-immigration nonprofit group last year.
