WASHINGTON — The Republican National Committee filed a complaint Monday alleging that Democrat Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has received illegal contributions from foreigners and donations that exceed federal limits.
The complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission is based largely on media reports, including one from a conservative news website that suggests donors who listed their state as “IR” might have been from Iran. In FEC reports, the designation “IR” typically stands for “information requested” because the donor did not supply it.
Federal law prohibits contributions from foreign nationals, and individuals are limited to contributions of no more than $2,300 per election.
