A group backed by labor unions has issued a complaint to tax authorities that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which is already under criticism from the White House and Democrats, may have knowingly used charitable funds for political activities.
The group, U.S. Chamber Watch, is filing an amendment to an earlier complaint with the Internal Revenue Service asking for an investigation. It alleges that the Chamber may have misstated financial transactions and given improper compensation to Chamber President Thomas Donohue.
