Report: FBI Is Investigating A Fundraiser Who Gave To Dem Senate Contender
Source: Talking Points Memo
The Hill reported Tuesday that the FBI is investigating allegations that a prominent donor to Democratic Senate candidate Patrick Murphy may have been involved in a scheme to bypass federal campaign contribution limits in 2011 during Murphy's first run for his House seat.
According to the Hill, there is no evidence that Murphy was "involved in or even aware" of the scheme. Murphy's campaign told the Hill that Murphy nor the campaign was being investigated by the FBI.
“This complaint was written by a Republican super PAC willing to say anything to elect Marco Rubio,” Murphy campaign spokesman Joshua Karp told the Hill. “Neither Patrick nor any current or past employees have ever been contacted regarding this matter, and we are confident an examination of the facts will result in its dismissal.”
The Hill reported the investigation relates to whether Murphy's high school friend and major donor Ibrahim Al-Rashid used other people's names to personally donate more money to Murphy than what is legally permitted.
