The complaint alleges that a Republican Jewish Coalition ad was an illegal contribution to Collins' campaign.

An ethics group on Monday filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission alleging that a GOP group made an illegal campaign contribution to Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins' reelection campaign.

The complaint from the American Democracy Legal Fund surrounds an ad from the Republican Jewish Coalition, in which former Sen. Joe Lieberman endorses Collins' bid.

The complaint alleges that "more than half of the 30-second ad contained footage that the Collins For Senator ("the Collins Committee&quot had produced, created, and posted online."

Because of that, the complaint says the ad qualified as a "republication" of Collins' campaign materials and amounts to an illegal donation to Collins' campaign.
