A former North Carolina congressional candidate pleaded guilty to a federal campaign finance violation. The ex-candidate accepted a loan that prosecutors said was falsely recorded in reports.

Prosecutors said Bennett borrowed $25,000 from a family member in late 2019, representing that she needed the money because she had to spend a lot of personal money on her own campaign. Soon after depositing that money, Bennett caused $80,000 — including the $25,000 in loaned funds — to be transferred into her campaign committee, the government said.

Bennett, a real estate agent, was one of several Republicans seeking the 11th District seat that was held by. He was vacating the seat to become former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff. Bennett was a friend of Meadows’ wife and endorsed by Meadows and later Trump.
