Antone Melton-Meaux , the attorney challenging Rep. Ilhan Omar in Minnesotas Democratic primary election Tuesday, stands accused of violating campaign finance law by failing to adequately disclose how he is spending his campaign funds.

Melton-Meaux, his campaign and three companies that he paid for services violated the Federal Election Campaign Act by conspiring to intentionally obscure the individuals providing services to his campaign in clear contravention of the laws disclosure requirements, the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party alleged in a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday.

The DFL, as Minnesotas Democratic Party is known, endorsed Omar.

The Campaign Legal Center, a nonprofit campaign and elections watchdog, filed its own complaint with the FEC Friday against Melton-Meauxs campaign, officially called Antone for Congress, on similar grounds.

In a statement, Melton-Meaux called the DFLs complaint frivolous and baseless.

This is a continuation of more divisiveness and distraction from my opponent, Rep. Ilhan Omar, who is clearly desperate to revive a failing campaign, he said.
