Federal prosecutors in Chicago have been investigating Authentic Campaigns Inc., a Democratic fundraising firm once co-owned by the daughter of the judge who oversaw President Donald Trump’s New York hush-money trial, according to court filings and people familiar with the inquiry, The New York Times reported.
Last August, the U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago subpoenaed the firm for a wide range of internal communications with major Democratic clients as part of a federal investigation into whether its work involved improper conduct or potential violations of federal law.
