Complaint claims Clinton, DNC broke the law by hiding dossier payments
NY Post, Oct 25, 2017, Chris Perez
Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee both broke the law by hiding payments to unearth dirt on Donald Trump, according to a complaint filed Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission.
Mark Elias, lawyer for the Clinton campaign, reportedly paid the Washington-based research firm Fusion GPS to continue compiling a “dossier” on the Republican then-candidate — and failed to disclose the payments, the complaint says.
Campaign Legal Center, the nonprofit that filed the documents with the FEC, claims this is a direct violation of campaign finance law, which requires campaign and party committees to report all their spending.
