Dark Money Donation Sparks Indiana Political Storm | Indianapolis News

Though the campaign claims they returned the funds out of caution after the transfer, the donor’s obscure status and the group’s history of spending millions on political ads have ignited legal and ethical scrutiny. The complaint comes from Engling’s own primary opponent, adding fuel to the debate over campaign finance transparency as the election heats up.
