    the key factor is whether the endorsement is part of a coordinated campaign effort or is simply a public communication. If it’s a legitimate endorsement to the public, it’s generally permissible. However, if it’s part of a broader strategy to influence the election AND is coordinated with the candidate, it could be subject to campaign finance regulations.

    Campaign laws in the US are strange at times.

    I’m not saying laws were broke, personally I doubt they were, just giving info.

      Yeah that’ll be a nice waste of time for the lawyers who think they’ll be paid for doing a massive investigation.
