Complaint targets Hastert committee

Complaint targets Hastert committee:

"A watchdog group filed a complaint today urging federal election officials to investigate whether House Speaker Dennis Hastert's campaign fund illegally accepted campaign contributions from foreign nationals.

The complaint from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Government -- a self-described progressive group -- relies upon an article published in the September issue of Vanity Fair to argue the FEC should pursue the matter.

The group suggests that Hastert's campaign committee could have received hundreds of unitemized contributions of $200 or less from foreign nationals four or five years ago. Name and address information is not required for such small donations."
