Judicial Watch Calls on FEC to Investigate McCain Presidential Fundraising Luncheon Held in London

Last week, Judicial Watch filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission against Hillary Clinton’s campaign for her illegal Elton John fundraiser. This week, it was Senator McCain’s turn.

On April 15th, we filed an FEC complaint related to a fundraising luncheon held at London ’s Spencer House to benefit McCain’s presidential campaign. The venue for the event was apparently donated to the campaign by foreign nationals, in violation of federal campaign finance laws. Certainly, John McCain should have known better. After all, McCain’s the guy who spearheaded campaign finance reform in order to allegedly remove the corrupting influence of money in the political system. Now he appears to be on the wrong side of federal election law.

Here’s an excerpt from my complaint letter: http://www.judicialwatch.org/files/2007 ... McCain.pdf

[quote]“Recent news reports suggest that Sen. John McCain and John McCain for President may have accepted an in-kind contribution from foreign nationals Lord Rothschild OM GBE and the Hon. Nathaniel Rothschild of Great Britain in contravention of federal election laws. On behalf of Judicial Watch and its supporters, I hereby request that the FEC investigate the matter.â€
