Federal Judge Rejects FEC Motion Against Former Buchanan Business Partnernew
A federal judge has denied the Federal Election Commission’s motion to fine a former business partner of Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Sarasota, over contributions made to Buchanan’s 2006 and 2008 campaigns. The partner, Sam Kazran, alleges that Buchanan himself orchestrated the funneling of money to his campaign coffer.
As extensively reported by The Florida Independent, the FEC has been investigating a series of donations made to Buchanan’s 2006 and 2008 congressional campaigns, during which time a dealership he co-owned allegedly reimbursed employees who donated to his campaign committee.
