A bombshell new finding from the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board determined there’s prima facie evidence that Jim Schultz illegally coordinated with the dark money funded Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) to purchase nearly $850,000 in ads.
Under Minnesota state law, Schultz could be forced to pay a fine upwards of $3.3 million and RAGA could be forced to pay a fine upwards of $6.6 million. Both would be the largest fines in Minnesota history.
“Jim Schultz is a corrupt hedge fund lawyer who has been caught breaking the law. If he can’t follow the law, how can Minnesotans trust him to enforce laws as Attorney General?” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller.
The Minnesota Campaign Finance Board made their determination after a complaint filed by the Minnesota DFL Party that showed Schultz and RAGA were illegally coordinating on an ad by both using the same buying agent.
