The FEC fined the companies of a Canadian billionaire nearly a million dollars for a contribution to a super PAC supporting then-President Donald Trump, after the agency found “reason to believe” that the donations violated a federal law

The conciliation agreement between Zekelman’s companies — Zekelman Industries and Wheatland Tube — was accepted by the agency on Thursday. In the agreement, the companies contended that the contributions were “made with the good faith understanding that they were permissible,” and the agency itself “did not find that the violation was knowing or willful.”

Thomas Spulak — an attorney who signed the agreement for the companies — and Zekelman Industries did not immediately respond to a request for comment. “Unlike the Clinton campaign and the Democrat National Committee, the Federal Election Commission dismissed the complaint against America First Action because we follow the law,” Brian O. Walsh, president of America First Action, said in a statement. Walsh was referring to theto fine the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign over $100,000, over an investigation into alleged misreporting of spending related to the Steele dossier.

VERRY INTERESTING, as to how the deal had been cut, and how the contribution 'might' be returned.

SadieMaeTN Until you charge the people accepting the illegal donations, they will continue accepting them since the benefit without adverse consequences!

Fine was trivial Mission accomplished
