"Young Australians say they are being paid to work for the Bernard Sanders campaign by the Australian Labor Party in what appears to be a violation of U.S. election law, according to an undercover video released Thursday.
The footage captured by Project Veritas Action shows three campaign volunteers discussing how they received compensation from the Australian Labor Party — including airfare, housing and a daily stipend — in order to help Mr. Sanders’ bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.
“They [the Australian Labor Party] pay for our flights. They pay for the cost of accommodations, which is just the staff house, and then we also get a $60 stipend a day,” said Rebecca Doyle, an Australian campaign volunteer in New Hampshire, in the hidden-camera footage.
Under federal law, foreign nationals are permitted to work on U.S. campaigns as volunteers, but cannot be compensated.
In addition, federal law bans foreign contributions to campaigns, describing it as unlawful for “a foreign national, directly or indirectly, to make … a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a Federal, State or local election.”
The disclosure comes shortly after the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office launched an investigation into allegations of voter fraud after a Project Veritas Action video showed Sanders staffers admitting that they registered to vote in New Hampshire, even though they lived elsewhere.
The Sanders campaign did not return immediately a request for comment Thursday, but Sanders officials interviewed in the video appeared to be unaware of the Australian Labor Party’s involvement."
