NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Federal authorities say there’s no reason to believe Louisiana Sen. David Vitter’s campaign violated the law by accepting a contribution from a political action committee of Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour.
Louisiana Democrats claimed the contribution was really from former Mississippi U.S. Rep. Chip Pickering and that it was illegally funneled through Barbour’s PAC to avoid publicity.
But the Federal Elections Commission, in a ruling made public Monday, dismissed the complaint.
Democrats claimed the former congressman, whose estranged wife had accused him of an extramarital affair, did not want to be shown publicly donating to Vitter, who was linked to a Washington, D.C., prostitution ring in 2007.
