Legal Activities
Campaign finance and ethics laws exist to protect the interests of the American people in honest government. Legal actions are required to defend the constitutionality and integrity of campaign finance laws and to challenge improper actions by the president, White House officials, members of Congress, and outside groups. The laws and their proper enforcement prevent government corruption, protect the interests of the American people from influence-buying and selling, and to stop the misuse of public office for personal financial gain.
