Biden challenger Dean Phillips faces FEC complaint lodged by left-wing group
Fox News
Watchdog group Campaign for Accountability has filed an FEC complaint against Biden primary challenger Dean Phillips' campaign alleging improper coordination with a super PAC.
The complaint alleges that Schmidt flouted election regulations when he formed Pass the Torch USA Inc. just two weeks after leaving an advisory role with the campaign. The non-profit organization asserts evidence "strongly suggests" that he made $450,000 in coordinated communications with the campaign. Chris Pandolfo is a writer for Fox News Digital.

Campaign for Accountability claims the PAC falsely reported the communications as an independent expenditure and "failed to disclose as in-kind contributions."
