Rivera Implicated in Illegal Money Scandal

For the first time, convicted congressional candidate Justin Lamar Sternad has stated in federal records that former Rep. David Rivera (R-FL) was a part of the conspiracy to funnel illegal contributions to his campaign, the Miami Herald reports.

“Sternad said in three recent FEC filings that a total of $81,486.15 in illegal campaign contributions were coordinated or tied to ‘Ana Alliegro and/or David Rivera.’ The revelations about the two come almost a year after Sternad’s March 15 guilty plea on counts of accepting illegal campaign contributions, conspiracy and making a false statement on an FEC report.”
