"Andrew Yang insisted to Fox News this week that his “small army of very, very, smart lawyers” assures him his pitch to give 10 random families $1,000 per month -- to spotlight his plan for a universal basic income for all adult Americans -- “is perfectly legal.”
But some leading campaign finance experts are taking issue with the Democratic presidential candidate’s provocative promotion and say it’s likely Yang’s breaking campaign finance laws."
The very big problem with Yang's claim that his 'promotion' is legal is the fact that federal law prohibits campaign contributions from being used for personal purposes....such as personal 'political experiments', buying votes, or the families he gives the money to using that money for groceries, gas for their cars, etc...
....not sure legally what that leaves for the money to be spent on.....
Andrew Yang's campaign cash giveaway raising legal concerns, despite Dem's claims
