Christine O’Donnell is under federal criminal investigation for misuse of campaign funds. I will update when more information is available.
The local News Journal article on Christine’s federal probe.
The Washington Post is running the complete AP article.
From the Washington Post:
A person with knowledge of a federal campaign-finance investigation says a criminal probe has been opened into whether Delaware Republican Christine O’Donnell broke the law by using campaign money to pay personal expenses.
From USA Today:
The case, which has been assigned to two federal prosecutors and two FBI agents in Delaware, has not been sent to a grand jury, the AP says.
From Talking Points Memo:
The AP reports that the complaint is based largely on a sworn statement by David Keegan, who was a campaign finance consultant for O’Donnell.
From AP:
In a message sent last week to The AP, Keegan said he had not been questioned as part of a criminal investigation, and that he considers himself only a “catalyst” in a case in which several people must be questioned to scrutinize O’Donnell’s accounting practices and alleged misuse of campaign funds.
For those of you unfamiliar with the history of O’Donnell’s campaign finances, here is a good article from the Christian Science Monitor.
