About $2 million in federal campaign matching funds that disgrace former Democrat Sen. John Edwards planned to use as legal fees in his adultery/bribery case must now be returned. The Federal Election Commission finally got around to slapping Edwards for violating election spending rules.
Shed no tears for Silky.
The Federal Election Commission has unanimously voted to require former Sen. John Edwards to repay $2.3 million in federal matching funds.
In a meeting Thursday, the commission approved an audit that showed Edwards’s campaign exceeded the amount of money it was allowed to spend during his 2008 presidential run. A preliminary audit had showed Edwards received more money than his campaign should have been given.
Edwards has about $2.6 million remaining in his campaign account, according to recently-filed disclosure reports.
FYI: His criminal trial is set for October.
And did you catch this? John Edwards tried to launch law firm before indictment.
Perhaps he, Eliot Spitzer, and Anthony Weiner can pitch a talk show proposal to MSNBC.
Oh, no. Wait. Fellow Democ-rat Al Sharpton already nabbed the gig.
