(Bloomberg Government) Sean Duffy, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for transportation secretary, tapped his old campaign funds to pay expenses to the Ritz-Carlton, raising questions of whether he ran afoul of campaign finance rules.

Tiffany Muller, president of End Citizens United, a campaign finance overhaul group that aligns with Democrats, said the expenditures raised concerns about Duffy’s selection to lead the Transportation Department.
“If Sean Duffy can’t resist the urge to use his old campaign account as a personal slush fund, how can he be trusted to manage the Department of Transportation’s budget with integrity?”
Muller said in an email. “His judgment is compromised and his ethics are questionable.”
