Federal Election Commission said the campaign mislabeled Christopher Steele's opposition work as 'legal services' and 'legal and compliance consulting'
By Graham KatesThe Federal Election Commission has fined Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign $8,000 and the Democratic National Committee $105,000 for obscuring their funding of the"Steele dossier," a 2016 opposition research report that sought to highlight alleged links between Donald Trump and Russia.
The campaign mislabeled Steele's work as"legal services" and"legal and compliance consulting" in campaign filings, the FEC concluded. "settled aging and silly complaints from the 2016 election about 'purpose descriptions' in our FEC report." "It's outrageous that the DNC would minimize the serious violation that took place by calling campaign disclosure laws 'silly' violations," said Kamenar, who added that he believes the FEC should have made a criminal referral to the Justice Department.
