History

Historical Context

After Watergate spurred the 1974 FECA amendments, parties funneled unlimited soft-money donations, a practice curbed by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act signed by President George W. Bush on March 27 2002 after the House approved it 240-189. Today, Rep. Robert Garcia cites that law while probing claims that Donald Trump Jr.’s Bahamas after-party was funded by IBA chief Umar Kremlev.
