The Washington D.C. \u200bCircuit \u2062Court of Appeals ruled that the 2016\u200d Hillary Clinton campaign and an affiliated super PAC violated federal election law by spending close to $6 million in \u2062coordination \u200bwith each other. This amount is significantly higher than the $130,000 \u2063that former President Donald Trump was convicted of misreporting in business records during \u200dthe same campaign. The court found that Correct the Record, the super PAC, engaged in coordinated \u2062activities to support Clinton’s presidential campaign, including conducting\u2064 polls, hiring\u200d fact-checkers, and connecting\u2064 media \u2064surrogates with news outlets. The FEC had previously dismissed\u2063 the \u2064complaint against the Clinton campaign, citing an internet exemption, but\u2062 the court found this decision \u200cto be in \u2062error. Additionally, the Clinton campaign and the DNC settled a separate \u2063FEC investigation into funding \u2062the \u200bSteele dossier during the 2016 race. This case sheds light on the different treatment of \u200b campaign\u200b finance violations<\/a> \u200cand raises questions about \u2064a potential \u2063two-tiered \u200csystem of\u200b justice. <\/p>\n
