Amid scrutiny over his controversial podcast deal, a campaign committee tied to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is now being asked to explain a donation it accepted earlier this year that greatly exceeds the amount allowed under federal law.
The letter comes as Cruz faces scrutiny over a podcast deal that'd dumped $786,000 into a super PAC dedicated to his reelection., a campaign committee tied to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is now being asked to explain a donation it accepted earlier this year that greatly exceeds the amount allowed under federal law., the Federal Election Commission asked the Ted Cruz Victory Committee to explain a $16,000 donation from a person identified as Reginald James Brown .
In federal filings, the committee lists its two biggest 2024 beneficiaries as Cruz and the Cruz-affiliated Jobs, Freedom & Security PAC. It's not unusual for campaigns to be asked to explain larger-than-allowed donations, and they generally avoid hot water if they return the amount over the allowable limit, according to experts. Even so, the $16,000 donation is considerably larger than many that set off red flags with the FEC.
While Cruz has defended the deal saying he records the podcast for free, Campaign Legal Center and End Citizens United argue that the donations to the super PAC are a way for the politician to skirt limits on corporate campaign donations.Since 1986, the SA Current has served as the free, independent voice of San Antonio, and we want to keep it that way.
