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.
