Complaint alleges Dean Phillips' presidential campaign illegally coordinated with super PAC

Democratic U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips has been hit with a federal campaign finance complaint that accuses his presidential campaign of illegally coordinating with a super PAC.

The Campaign for Accountability, a progressive watchdog, filed a complaint Tuesday alleging that Phillips' campaign illegally coordinated with a supporting super PAC called Pass the Torch, which was launched by former Phillips campaign adviser Steve Schmidt.

Phillips, a third-term Minnesota congressman, launched his intraparty challenge against President Joe Biden in late October.
