- Blackburn moves $4.8M from US Senate campaign account in apparent legal ‘workaround’
U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn donated $4.8 million from her federal campaign account to the Club for Growth Action PAC, which later transferred nearly identical funds to the Tennessee Freedom Fund PAC to support her gubernatorial campaign. Tennessee law prohibits direct spending of federal campaign funds in state races, but the transactions appear to circumvent this restriction through intermediate PACs.
