United States Fourth Circuit

In the government's appeal of the dismissal of a count of an indictment, alleging that defendants conspired to and did facilitate direct contributions to Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign in violation of 2 U.S.C. section 441b(a) of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (FECA) and 18 U.S.C. section 2.1, the district court's grant of summary judgment and dismissal of count 10(b) are reversed, where Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 130 S. Ct. 876 (2010), does not render section 441b(a) unconstitutional as applied to the defendants.
