Michael Eggman Donor Sentenced To Prison For Election Fraud
Yesterday, Michael Eggman donor Babulal Bera was sentenced to prison for felony election fraud. Babulal, father of Congressman Ami Bera, received a sentence of 1 year and 1 day for his part in a crime that involved more than 90 straw donors and funneled nearly $270,000 to his son’s campaign.
Eggman is currently named in an FEC complaint regarding a series of donations between Babulal and the Eggman campaign. According to the Oakdale Leader, “In the five-page complaint letter dated July 26 to the FEC, the organization states, “The actions of Michael Eggman and Respondents enabled illegal contributions to flow through the federal campaign finance system, subverting the government’s compelling interest in proper disclosure and making a mockery of federal campaign finance law.”
