The five federal defense contractors are among those 16 corporations, and account for over 53% of that $501,000. It’s quite a shift from the principled stand that federal defense contractors tried to look like they were taking in January. As of Aug. 11, Lockheed Martin has given at least $74,000 to GOP lawmakers who voted to overturn the 2020 election results.

Requests for comment from Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and General Dynamics were not immediately returned.
