Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner (D) sued Elon Musk and America PAC, the billionaire’s pro-Trump super PAC, Monday over their daily $1 million giveaways to registered swing state voters.
“The Philadelphia District Attorney is charged with protecting the public from public nuisances and unfair trade practices, including illegal lotteries. The DA is also charged with protecting the public from interference with the integrity of elections,” Krasner said in a statement.
“Today, the Philadelphia DA filed a civil legal action under Pennsylvania law,” he continued. “This civil action neither precludes nor requires potential future action under Pennsylvania criminal law. The Philadelphia DA will litigate the factual allegations and legal arguments that underlie today’s filing on the record and in court.”
America PAC launched the giveaways earlier this month, handing out $1 million checks each day to registered voters in one of seven swing states, including Pennsylvania.
