Campaign Regulators Clear Coleman of Another Complaint
Posted by: under Minnesota U.S. senators, Minnesota campaigns Updated: October 30, 2009 - 4:22 PM
By Pat Doyle
The Federal Election Commission has dismissed a complaint by the state DFL accusing former U.S. Senator Norm Coleman of using campaign funds for personal use to pay legal fees stemming from a lawsuit in Texas.
The FEC today reported the dismissal of the complaint in September. It earlier dismissed a similar complaint by the Alliance for a Better Minnesota, a group allied with Democratic causes.
Coleman denied the allegations. The FEC eventually gave him permission to use campaign money to pay legal expenses related to the election.
