The Federal Election Commission is squealing at a major pork industry political action committee for not disclosing the"anonymous" source behind thousands of dollars it raked in, documents show.
The NPPC, which has spent at least $1.47 million lobbying in 2023, gives to mostly Republican lawmakers through its PAC. It touts on its website how the pork industry adds $57 billion to the GDP, while 610,000 jobs are supported by it. Federal law bars corporations and labor organizations from"contributing funds for the purpose of influencing any federal election" or"facilitating the making of contributions to candidates or political committees, other than to the separate segregated funds of the corporations and labor organizations," according to the FEC.
