Federal regulators ask Ted Cruz's campaign to explain $593,00 in oddly timed small donations

Federal regulators have asked the reelection campaign of U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to explain $593,000 in donations it claims to have collected from unidentified small donors in the final weeks of 2024. In a newly filed letter, the Federal Election Commission asked Ted Cruz for Senate Treasurer Bradley Scott Knippa to provide an itemized accounting for the apparent windfall in small contributions the campaign collected from Nov. 26 to Dec. 31. The campaign's federal filing for that period suggests it raked in the windfall from individual donors after Cruz won his Nov. 5 reelection victory over Democratic challenger U.S. Rep. Colin Allred.
