Carl Levin: “The contribution that the Senator referred to is to a legal defense fund. That is not covered by the $20 rule unless…”

On the recordMay 5, 1994
The contribution that the Senator referred to is to a legal defense fund. That is not covered by the $20 rule unless there is a contribution by a registered lobbyist, as I have read. It is permitted for others to make a contribution to the Senator's legal defense fund. That is what I am trying to describe to the Senator. You can receive a $50 or $100 or $200 contribution; the legal defense fund can receive that contribution from anyone else other than a registered lobbyist.
