Former Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota made a similar transfer earlier this year, according to the report. At issue is the legality of those transfers. Campaign finance law bars candidates from using leftover funds for personal benefit, according to the report.
Dr. Price’s lawyer, Stefan Passantino, told the Center for Public Integrity the former secretary plans to keep the money in a separate fund that could not be used to pay Dr. Price or his family members, though it could be used for reimbursement expenses.
