Pruitt's Capitol Hill Condo Fallout Ensnares Republican Senator

摘要

The Capitol Hill condo that landed EPA administrator Scott Pruitt into a whirlwind of controversy may ensnare another Washington power broker.Committees for Idaho Republican Sen. Mike Crapo hosted a series of campaign fundraisers at the crashpad used by Pruitt. But the committees didn't report making any payments to the owner of the condo, according to the Campaign for Accountability, a watchdog group that has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission.Federal Election Campaign Act and FEC regulations require all political committees to disclose any contributions or expenditures that exceed $200, the Washington-based group said. If the condo was provided for free it could constitute an "in-kind contribution" that should be reported.
