Democrats may have violated campaign finance laws in their heavily funded effort to oust Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) this past election cycle, according to a new complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
The Campaign Legal Center, a public-interest watchdog, is accusing the campaign of McConnell’s defeated Democratic opponent, Amy McGrath, of having illegally coordinated with a super PAC, Ditch Fund, that was active in the race. Ditch Fund, which raised a total of $23 million this past cycle, placed advertisements lambasting McConnell and supporting his challenger through the same firm that was “strategically placing” McGrath’s ads as well.
