Donations to Nunes improperly used to charter private jet, says complaint to FEC

WASHINGTON _ Political donations to Rep. Devin Nunes were improperly used to fund $5,518 in private jet travel, says a complaint filed by a nonpartisan watchdog group with the Federal Election Commission on Monday.

Nunes, R-Calif., is the sponsor of New PAC, a leadership political action committee that paid $11,036 to Paramount Business Jets on March 7, according to public filings. The PAC was refunded $5,518 May 18, citing overpayment.

Paramount Business Jets, based in Virginia, offers "private jet flights to and from any major city in the world, in any size aircraft with as little as 4 hours of notice," according to the company's website.
