Democratic megadonor Ed Buck has been spotted with another Black man weeks after a Black man died in his home under mysterious circumstances.
CBS LA reporter David Goldstein stopped Buck after seeing him meet up with a Black male who appeared to be in his early 20s outside a Los Angeles 7-Eleven. The donor and unidentified man went into Buck's apartment for an hour before leaving to a local mall.
"Is this young man who is with you now, is he in any harm?" Goldstein asked.

Buck responded to the journalist by accusing him of assaulting him. The donor also called Goldstein an "a**hole."

As Blavity previously reported, Buck is under scrutiny for the deaths of two gay Black men in his home.
Timothy Dean, a Los Angeles Saks Fifth Avenue employee, was found dead on January 7 around 12:15 a.m. in the 64-year-old's home. Gemmel Moore died from a drug overdose in Buck's apartment in 2017.
Buck's critics, including activist Jasmyne Cannick, claim Buck invites Black gay men to his home and injects them with illegal drugs. A 28-year-old named Jermaine Gagnon claims he escaped death after the multimillionaire injected him with crystal meth while they were together, Blavity reported.
Gagnon has also said he believes Buck gave him a date rape drug on a separate occasion. The Daily Beast reports Dean warned his gay Black friends to stay far away from Buck and would reportedly refer to the donor as "the Devil."
Buck has denied any wrongdoing. However, scores of protesters have taken to demonstrating outside the donor's apartment, according to the Los Angeles Times. He is also currently being investigated by L.A. police.
As the millionaire was cleared during the investigation of Moore's death, some activists have questioned whether his political donations are protecting him from arrest and prosecution. Buck has donated over $520,000 to local, state and federal campaigns since 2009.
