SC-SEN: Law and order' Lindsey Graham flagged for possible campaign finance violations

The campaign of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has been flagged for possible election finance violations.

In a letter dated Sept. 28, brought to light by the progressive research group American Bridge 21st Century, the Federal Election Commission writes that Team Graham, Inc.'s July filings disclose "one or more contributions that appear to exceed the limits" for annual contributions to federal candidates.

It also notes that "your committee may have failed to file one or more of the required 48-hour notices regarding 'last minute' contributions (to include loans, in kind contributions, and advances) received by your committee after the close of books for the 12 Day Pre-Primary Report."

Like Donald Trump, Graham has made "law and order" a major theme of his 2020 reelection campaign.

"Law and order is on the ballot this November," Graham tweeted on Sept. 17. "Join our movement."

They were merely “youthful indiscretions.”
