Ethics regulators in Wisconsin have recommended felony charges for former President Donald Trump’s Save America fundraising committee and several state Republicans, alleging they violated state campaign finance laws by evading donation limits in support of a Trump-backed candidate.
An investigation by the bipartisan Wisconsin Ethics Commission determined the Save America committee, state Rep. Janel Brandtjen (R) and Adam Steen circumvented campaign donation limits by moving at least $40,000 to Steen, who was endorsed by Trump as a challenger to Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R), according to records released Friday.
Wisconsin’s campaign finance laws limit donations by PACs for state assembly representatives to $1,000, while local party offices can receive up to $6,000, depending on the county’s population
