D.C. Campaign finance office opens investigation into 'Team Thomas'

The D.C. Office of Campaign Finance has opened an investigation into allegations that Ward 5 Councilman Harry Thomas created a nonprofit entity to fund personal expenses.

The D.C. Republican Party accused of Thomas last fall of using using cash from his re-election campaign to fund his nonprofit, Team Thomas. The campaign finance office then referred the accusations to the D.C. Attorney General, who has been investigating the claims since.
