Description
While Gov. Ron DeSantis kicks off his 2024 presidential campaign with stops in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina this week, he and his former state political committee are now being accused of breaking federal campaign finance laws.
The Campaign Legal Center (CLC), a nonpartisan watchdog group, filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, alleging DeSantis violated federal campaign finance laws, “by directing or transferring” $86 million raised in a state political committee account during his campaign and time as governor, to a federal super PAC “Never Back Down,” which is backing his run for president.
The complaint calls it, “a brazen attempt to circumvent the federal campaign finance rules that are crucial to preventing corruption and establishing transparency about how our federal elections are financed.”
