FEC Complaint Alleges Illegal Funding to Republican PACs via Shell Company

A watchdog group claims that Ardleigh Impact Corp funneled millions to GOP-related super PACs, potentially violating federal transparency laws.

Ardleigh Impact Corp is accused of directing $2.6 million to various Republican super PACs using funds from dubious sources.
The company, incorporated in Delaware and linked to GOP figures, allegedly operated as a straw donor to obscure the true origins of the funds.
Campaign Legal Center filed the FEC complaint, highlighting risks to electoral integrity from such opaque financial practices.
Concerns about 'dark money' in politics grow as entities like Ardleigh Impact exploit lax incorporation laws to shield donor identities.
Federal regulations against straw donations aim to maintain transparency, yet enforcement challenges persist amid rising undisclosed contributions.
