Lawmakers Call For Investigation Of Rahm Emanuel Over Possibly Illegal Campaign Donations
Via The Huffington Post
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) is under scrutiny for accepting what potentially could be considered illegal campaign cash from financial firms that manage the city’s pension funds.
On Tuesday, three city councilmen (one of whom is challenging Emanuel for re-election next February) called for the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate Emanuel’s campaign dollars. Their letter follows an International Business Times report published Nov. 13 that stated investment firms executives with direct ties to Chicago’s pension funds have “since 2011 poured more than $600,000 in contributions into Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s campaign operation and political action committees.”
