A super PAC supporting Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign has once again complained about Donald Trump to the Federal Election Commission.
Charles Spies, counsel for the Right to Rise group supporting Bush, penned a letter complaining about the overlap between Trump’s business and his presidential campaign.
“It is remarkable that a candidate fixed on erecting walls refuses to establish any semblance of a wall between his company and his presidential campaign,” Spies wrote. “It is one thing for the Trump Organization’s employees to occasionally volunteer their own time, away from their on-the-clock work for the Organization, to assist Trump’s Campaign. It is an entirely other thing for Trump executives … to perform continuous and substantive Campaign work that is subsidized by the Organization.”
Right to Rise has attacked Trump in various video ads and sent similar letters to the FEC in the past, but the effect of the Bush supporters’ actions on public opinion appears miniscule. Bush, whose supporters have spent tens of millions of dollars to support his presidential bid, remains stuck below five percentage points in RealClearPolitics’ average of national polls. He ranks sixth in the Washington Examiner‘s newest GOP presidential power rankings.
