Justice Department Subpoenas Records From Michele Bachmann's Husband's PAC
Investigating alleged illegal coordination between Bachmann's presidential campaign and her husband's PAC
In the waning days of U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann's presidential campaign, her husband, Marcus Bachmann, allegedly wrote an e-mail describing his efforts to raise much-needed funds through an outside "super PAC."
That e-mail is now in the hands of the U.S. Justice Department, which has subpoenaed records from the National Fiscal Conservative (NFC) Political Action Committee as part of a federal grand jury investigation into potentially illegal coordination between the PAC and Bachmann's campaign.
