Former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign and four associated political committees violated federal campaign finance law, according to a complaint filed by a nonpartisan public interest watchdog.

Late Wednesday, the Campaign Legal Center (CLC) submitted a 30-page complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleging that “five political committees authorized by or affiliated with former President Donald Trump” violated mandatory reporting obligations.

The complaint alleges that those reporting violations were facilitated by GOP consulting, accounting and compliance firm Red Curve Solutions in violation of federal “contribution limits and prohibitions.”
