Eugene Vindman, the former Trump whistleblower who is now running for Congress as a Democrat in Virginia, is facing allegations of violating federal election law.
The Functional Government Initiative filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Wednesday, urging an investigation into Vindman and his political action committee, VoteVets.
Vindman has since leveraged his public profile from this incident to raise millions for his congressional campaign.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, VoteVets is legally permitted to contribute up to $10,000 directly to a candidate.
The complaint alleged that VoteVets, a “hybrid PAC,” made an "excessive and impermissible" contribution to Vindman’s campaign.
Congress alleged that Trump attempted to withhold aid from Ukraine until the details of the firing were revealed.
"In my opinion, this would most certainly extend to hybrid PACs."
