Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., argued Wednesday that the Supreme Court’s latest campaign finance decision makes the threat of an IRS investigation into 501(c)(4) groups less of a deterrent to Republican donors.
Schumer discussed “the damage” of the McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission ruling — in which the court ruled that individuals can donate to as many candidates as they like, as long as they respect the limits imposed on how much they can give to those candidates — during a press briefing at the Capitol.
“Let’s say you’re a person who doesn’t believe in undisclosed money; let’s say you’re a person who doesn’t want to go to a 501(c)(4) because you’re worried maybe there’ll be an IRS investigation sometime down the road,” Schumer told reporters. “You can write one check to a joint committee of 232 House members and give them each the maximum.”
