Will Rudy Salas return T.J. Cox’s tainted cash?

FEC records show, and the San Joaquin Valley Sun reports, Rudy Salas accepted $1,000 from T.J. Cox’s PAC. 

T.J. Cox was indicted last week on 15 counts of wire fraud, 11 counts of money laundering, one count of financial institution fraud, and one count of campaign contribution fraud, according to the Department of Justice. 

Salas has not denounced Cox’s endorsement or returned the dirty money. 

NRCC COMMENT: “T.J Cox’s criminal behavior was reported on for years and Rudy Salas still accepted his endorsement, support and money. Salas is a typical politician who will do whatever it takes to get elected– even befriend corrupt T.J. Cox.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
