One of Tom Steyer's top aides allegedly offered campaign contributions to Iowa politicians if they agreed to endorse the billionaire candidate, reports AP.
Why it matters: Undisclosed payments in exchange for endorsements would violate campaign finance laws. There is no record of any Iowans accepting funds from Steyer’s campaign in such a deal, and his press secretary has denied knowledge of the offer. Since Steyer launched his long-shot campaign, he's been accused of trying to buy his way into the White House. He vowed to put $100 million of his own fortune toward his campaign.
