NC attorneys plead guilty in Sheriff Clarke fundraising scam
Fox News
Two North Carolina attorneys have pleaded guilty to soliciting funds for a fake political action committee backing Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke's nonexistent 2018 Senate bid.
The attorneys formed a political action committee in 2017 that they said was designed to convince former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke to run for U.S. Senate, according to court documents. The committee raised more than $1.6 million from donors but most of the money was spent to personally benefit Daly and Pendley rather than to persuade Clarke to run.
The attorneys continued to solicit donations after they learned that Clarke had publicly announced he wouldn't run for Senate and had characterized the committee as a scam.
