Inside the Kansas court case that could cripple a sweeping campaign finance investigation

Kansas law for decades has prohibited political contributions given “in the name of another person.”

The classic example is a boss who gives employees money to donate in their own names, then reimburses them.

But does that same law also make it illegal for political groups to shift funds among themselves until the dollars arrive at a desired destination?

Over two years, $54,000 in contributions moved through a series of political committees before ending up in the accounts of the Kansas Republican Party. Why those transfers happened in 2020 and 2021 is the subject of a lengthy, ongoing investigation.
