CNN — The Democratic National Committee has accused the super PAC backing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign of committing additional campaign finance violations on Monday, a further escalation of Democrats’ efforts to diminish Kennedy’s independent White House bid.
The DNC filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging that American Values 2024 failed to properly disclose $10 million in loans and $9.65 million in loan repayments from Gavin de Becker, a prominent Kennedy donor and private security executive.
The move comes after the DNC had filed a previous FEC complaint alleging illegal coordination between the super PAC and the Kennedy campaign over American Values 2024’s efforts to gather signatures to put Kennedy on the ballot in some states. The super PAC announced last week that it had gathered enough signatures to qualify Kennedy for appearance on the November ballot in Arizona and Georgia.
“This is yet another example of AV24 playing fast and loose with election law,” DNC senior adviser Mary Beth Cahill said following the FEC complaint. “It’s clear that they, along with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his campaign, don’t believe that the rules apply to them.”
