(NBC Montana) The Democrat-aligned political action committee End Citizens United filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics on Wednesday. They claim Zinke’s campaign committee accepted $7,860 in illegal campaign contributions from an employee in his U.S. House office. The complaint alleges that Zinke’s chief of staff paid out of pocket and was later reimbursed for expenses using money from Zinke’s congressional campaign.
“Representative Zinke is a walking case study in corruption,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller in a statement to NBC Montana. “His blatant disregard for ethics rules and repeated violations throughout his career reveal a disturbing pattern of contempt for the law. This apparent scheme between him and his chief of staff is unambiguously illegal––and we urge the Office of Congressional Ethics to hold Representative Zinke accountable.”
