(San Antonio Current) Tiffany Muller, president of End Citizens United — one of the watchdog groups seeking a federal probe of Cruz’s podcast deal — said the newly filed documents shine a light on the crooked nature of the senator’s fundraising.

“Ted Cruz’s corruption knows no bounds. He continues to operate a corrupt, illegal scheme to funnel corporate ad revenue into his super PAC to help his tough reelection,” Muller said in an emailed statement. “But this also is yet another important reminder as to why Texans need to fire Ted Cruz and elect Colin Allred, who has fought to root out corruption and put government back on the side of working families since day 1.”

The FEC complaint filed by End Citizens United and fellow watchdog group Campaign Legal Center alleges the senator is using his deal with iHeartMedia to skirt federal laws seeking to rein in corporate funding for candidates.
