Under federal law, corporations cannot contribute money or in-kind services directly to federal candidates.
Charles Spies, who represents the pro-Bush Right to Rise super PAC, points out that one of Trump's corporate lawyers, Michael Cohen, recently told CNN that he would "send a letter very soon on behalf of Mr. Trump" to the person responsible for including a clip of Morocco instead of Mexico in the billionaire's first campaign ad.
"Cohen is not the campaign's attorney or paid by the campaign," Spies wrote. "He is employed solely by the Trump Organization."
"Trump's misuse of his company's corporate employees and resources to defend and aid his political candidacy has rendered the organization and the campaign as virtually indistinguishable entities," Spies added. "It is remarkable that a candidate fixated on erecting walls refuses to establish any semblance of a wall between his company and his presidential campaign."
