Judge finds corporate campaign contributions constitutional after Citizens United
U S district judge James Cacheris in Virginia ruled that the campaign finance ban on corporate contributions to federal candidates is unconstitutional citing the Citizens United decision. He tossed out part of an indictment against two individuals accused of illegally reimbursing donors to Hillary Clinton's campaigns. The ruling marks the first such case post Citizens United, aligning corporate giving with individual rights under political speech.
