PMA UPDATE: Visclosky Seeks to Use Campaign Funds for Legal Defense.

Rep. Peter Visclosky (D-Ind.) is seeking permission from the Federal Election Commission to spend campaign money on legal fees that may arise from the FBI investigation of the PMA Group lobbying firm, though his request letter claims no independent knowledge of the investigation.

PMA Group imploded after news broke in February that federal agents had raided its offices last fall, reportedly as part of an investigation of potentially improper campaign contributions.

The firm?s employees and clients have provided millions of dollars worth of campaign donations to top Members of Congress, including several Appropriations Committee members. Many of these members ? particularly Reps. John Murtha (D-Pa.), Jim Moran (D-Va.) and Visclosky ? have provided millions of dollars worth of earmarks for PMA clients.

Sounds like he’s expecting to be in trouble.
