The Hill: Groups Call on DOJ to Investigate Trump Campaign
In a letter to the agency on Friday, Democracy 21 and the Campaign Legal Center said published reports indicate that the Trump committee has solicited contributions from foreign nationals, in violation of the ban on soliciting any contribution in connection with a federal, state or local election from a foreign national.
Though the Trump committee would have been sent a copy of the complaint, the Campaign Legal Center and Democracy 21 cited The Hill’s July 16 report that the billionaire's campaign is still soliciting illegal donations from foreign individuals – including members of foreign governments at their official email addresses – despite the warnings.
