[quote=Anonymous]Between August and October, Ms. Bean donated $30,000 to a political action committee, originally known as Making America Great Again L.L.C., that backed Mr. Trump, the Republican candidate, according to Federal Election Commission reports.

The group appears to have presented itself as a “super PAC,” an organization that under federal law can accept unlimited donations from any person or business, and it ran ads in Maine attacking Hillary Clinton, Mr. Trump’s Democratic rival.

In fact, the group had actually registered as a traditional political action committee — for which contributions are capped at $5,000 — and that made Ms. Bean’s contributions illegal. This month, the Federal Election Commission wrote to the PAC’s treasurer asking for an explanation of the excessive contributions.

The group filed paperwork this week changing its name to Making Maine Great Again,[b] while claiming that some of the contributions originally attributed to Ms. Bean actually came from her sister, Diana Bean. [/b]The group also told the F.E.C. that it should be registered as a super PAC.
