Watchdog Files FEC Complaint Accusing Pro-Trump Super PAC of ‘Illegal, Unreported, and Excessive’ Campaign Contributions Jerry Lambe
A non-partisan campaign watchdog is accusing a pro-
Donald Trump super political action committee (PAC) of illegally paying to distribute an advertisement video produced by the Trump campaign across several critical swing states in violation of federal campaign contribution laws.
In a complaint filed this week with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the Campaign Legal Center (CLC) claimed that super PAC “Our American Century” spent between $5,100 and $251,000 to distribute a Trump campaign ad “in its entirety” to voters in Michigan, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. The ad even kept the original “paid for by the Trump Campaign” disclaimer when it aired.
