Feds ask Ted Cruz reelection committee to explain illegal donation it received
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. In a June 26 letter, the Federal Election Commission asked the Ted Cruz Victory Committee to explain a $16,000 donation from a person identified as Reginald James Brown. Individuals are only allowed to donate $2,000 to a candidate's committee per election, meaning the reported contribution was eight times over the limit. In federal filings, the committee lists its two biggest 2024 beneficiaries as Cruz and the Cruz-affiliated Jobs, Freedom & Security PAC.
