Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) leadership PAC violated campaign finance rules, according to the Federal Election Commission.
Greene’s Save America Stop Socialism PAC disclosed “impermissible, excessive, and prohibited contributions” in its July quarterly report and had other financial filing discrepancies, the FEC said Wednesday in a letter to the PAC.
The committee’s Schedule B form showed that it took an April 13 contribution totaling $5,800, even though there is a $5,000 limit, said the FEC. In addition, Greene’s PAC contributed $5,000 in June to the primary campaign for Ohio Republican congressional candidate J.R. Majewski roughly one month after the primary took place, which is in violation of federal regulations surrounding “Contributions by persons other than multicandidate political committees,” the FEC noted.

“If any apparently excessive contribution in question was incompletely or incorrectly disclosed, you must amend your original report with the clarifying information,” said the FEC in its letter. “If any contribution you received exceeds the limits, you may have to refund the excessive amount.”
The PAC is being asked by the FEC to fix the filing errors, refund the person who gave the excessive contribution, and ask Majewski’s campaign for a refund.
The letter to Save America Stop Socialism PAC listed a required response date of Nov. 23.
