The Justice Department has sent a letter to tech billionaire Elon Musk’s super PAC, America PAC, warning that its $1 million daily giveaway in battleground states may run afoul of federal law, a source familiar with the matter said.
The letter, which was reported earlier by CNN, came from the department’s Public Integrity Section, the source said. That section handles election-related prosecutions and related cases.
The Justice Department declined to comment, and the super PAC’s treasurer did not immediately reply to a voicemail message requesting comment.
