Why Dinesh D'Souza Copped Illegal Campaign Contribution Plea | The Daily Caller: Prolific conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza pleaded guilty earlier this week to one of two federal charges that his donations to failed 2012 U.S. Senate candidate Wendy Long exceeded campaign-finance limits.
In an appearance in federal court in Manhattan on Tuesday, D’Souza admitted that he reimbursed two people described as close associates after they each contributed $10,000 to Long’s campaign. (One of them was his girlfriend.)
“I did reimburse them,” D’Souza told U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman, according to The Christian Science Monitor. “I knew that causing a campaign contribution to be made in the name of another was wrong and something the law forbids. I deeply regret my conduct.”
