One of the most interesting charges is his violation of campaign finance laws. The list of the candidates who accepted donations is released (see below).
While most of his donations went to Democrats, he allegedly donated dark money to liberal Republicans – Collins, Murkowski, Hoeven, Boozman, Burr, Cassidy, the NRCC, Heartland Resurgence, and the Heartland Values PAC.
Who accepted donations illegally? This isn’t all of it or the end of it.
BREAKING: SBF has been charged with violating campaign finance laws.
He has given $42 million to Democrats & “dark money” to Republicans.
But there hasn’t been a full list of the politicians he paid.
Until now.
