CLINTON-GORE AND THE DNC'S LATEST REPORTED ILLEGALITIES:
USE OF SOFT MONEY CONTRIBUTIONS FOR FEDERAL ELECTION PURPOSES
Statement by the Republican National Committee
Today's New York Times article and testimony in the Thompson
hearings confirm that the DNC knowingly and willfully violated the
law by commingling contributions between the DNC's federal and
non-federal accounts and by using non-federal contributions to
benefit the Clinton-Gore reelection campaign.
The Times reported and DNC General Counsel Joe Sandler
testified that the DNC had a policy of depositing large individual
non-federal/soft dollar donations into the DNC's non-federal
account and then transferring or "re-designating" a portion of the
contributions to the DNC's federal account so that it could be
used to benefit Clinton-Gore. Unfortunately, the DNC repeatedly
failed to obtain the donors' permission to re-designate their
contributions and illegally transferred and used non-federal soft
dollars for federal election purposes.
