A former Wells Fargo executive who defended the bank during its massive fake accounts scandal is hosting a fundraiser for Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris presidential campaign on Saturday, according to an invitation obtained by HuffPost.

The former executive, Miguel Bustos, worked from 2013 to 2017 as Wells Fargos senior vice president of government and community relations, where he oversaw lobbying and community outreach efforts in six western states: California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Montana and Utah.

Bustos is hosting a fundraiser for Harris on Saturday night in San Francisco, timed to coincide with the citys Pride Weekend celebrations and one day before the crucial second-quarter fundraising deadline.

The minimum donation for an attendee is $500, while supporters need to contribute $1,000 and sponsors who get a photo with Harris need to contribute the federal maximum donation of $2,800.

The fundraiser lends ammunition to progressives, many aligned with the rival presidential campaigns of Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who are skeptical of Harris willingness to take on Wall Street and the financial industry.

In a statement, Harris spokesman Ian Sams defended the candidates record.

She literally investigated Wells Fargo as Attorney General and won an $8.5 million settlement for Californians, and shes the only major candidate in this race whos actually prosecuted banks for screwing people over, Sams said. Her record of real action to take on bad corporate actors on behalf of consumers shows exactly who she would fight for as president.

Sams is referring to an $8.5 million settlement that Harris and five district attorneys in the state reached with the bank in March 2016. The bank had violated state privacy laws by failing to timely and adequately disclose it was recording phone calls with members of the public. (The fine is equivalent to about .2% of Wells Fargos profit during the quarter the settlement was announced.)
