Sen. Amy Klobuchar, an outspoken campaign finance reformer, is facing questions from federal regulators about a $42,000-plus transaction between her Senate and Minnesota gubernatorial committees.
“It appears that your committee has received money from the sale of campaign assets,” Lauren Schleyer, a senior Federal Election Commission campaign finance analyst, wrote in an Aug. 27 letter to the Minnesota Democrat’s Senate committee.
Minnesotans for Klobuchar, her gubernatorial committee, paid Klobuchar for Minnesota, her Senate campaign committee, $42,695.14 for an “asset transfer” on March 31.
