Larry Craig, Former Idaho GOP Senator, Sued By FEC Over Use Of Campaign Cash

Federal campaign regulators brought the hammer down on disgraced former Sen. Larry Craig on Monday, accusing him of misusing hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign cash to pay for his legal defense following an arrest in a Minneapolis airport bathroom sex sting.

The Federal Election Commission filed a federal lawsuit against Craig, who now works as a lobbyist in Washington, D.C., asking a judge to order the former lawmaker to pay back his campaign committee more than $200,000 and stop him from raiding the committee for his own personal use.


Even for a disgraced politician in today's Washington, there is always the tried and true method of staying in touch and making money.
Craig did not return a message left at his lobbying firm.
