The Times reports the loan––along with another Citibank loan––did not appear in Cruz’s FEC filing. A Cruz spokeswoman acknowledged they did receive a loan, but the failure to report it was “inadvertent” and the campaign would be taking care of it immediately.
Tonight CNN’s Dana Bash asked Cruz about getting the loan to fund his campaign. Cruz responded, “The premise of your question is not right.”
