has hit a new snag, with a watchdog group filing a complaint to the Federal Election Commission over the money the company that produces his podcast has been sending to his super PAC.about Cruz’s Truth and Courage super PAC receiving $630,850.59 from iHeartMedia over the past year.
The manner in which the Truth and Courage super PAC has gone about this is by miscategorizing the contributions by iHeartMedia, which itself “has acknowledged that the money is ‘associated with ad sales’ generated by Cruz’s podcast,” according to the complaint. “For its part, TCP appears to have misreported the money it received from iHeartMedia,” the complaint claims, with the money categorized as “other federal receipts ” instead of contributions, which it alleges is in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act. The complaint seeks an FEC investigation into the super PAC, which is not held to the same restrictions set for normal PACs.
“Senator Cruz appears on ‘Verdict’ three times a week for free,” the campaign statement said. “He does this to pull back the veil on the corrupt inner workings of Washington — none of which ever get fairly covered. How convenient that the mainstream media and the cogs in the machine of the Biden-Pelosi Democrat Party want this to stop.
