“Rapper Pras Michel hit with campaign finance complaint”

CPI:

Campaign finance watchdogs have filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission against hip-hop musician Pras Michel — one of the founders of the Fugees — and a politically active company under his control.

In the new complaint, the Campaign Legal Center and Democracy 21 argue that Pras violated the law by giving money to a super PAC through his company without disclosing that he was the source of the funds. Federal lawprohibits making political donations in someone else’s name, which the groups argue was the effect of the corporate contribution.
