Overview

  • The Democratic National Committee (DNC) filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential campaign, alleging illegal coordination with the super PAC American Values 2024.
  • Kennedy's campaign is accused of receiving $15 million worth of unlawful in-kind contributions from American Values 2024 for signature gathering to secure ballot access as an independent candidate.
  • Kennedy's campaign refutes the allegations, emphasizing their commitment to following FEC regulations and denying any coordination with American Values 2024.
  • The DNC claims that Kennedy's campaign is being used as a 'stalking horse' by supporters of former President Donald Trump, pointing to a significant donation from Trump's top donor to Kennedy's super PAC.
  • Amidst these allegations, President Joe Biden faces scrutiny over his age and memory, as highlighted in a recent special counsel report.
