More Woes For Frist
by TChris
Raw Story reports that the FEC has fined Sen. Frist's 2000 Senate campaign committee, Frist 2000, Inc., for failing to disclose a $1.44 million loan. The loan was needed to cover stock market losses. The fine came in response to a complaint filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
Melanie Sloan, CREW's executive director, said "it is gratifying to see that the FEC recognizes that Senator Frist's campaign committee broke the law. Apparently, the FEC disagreed with Sen. Frist's aide's dismissal of the complaint as 'incorrect' and 'politically driven.'"
