Former FTX executive Ryan Salame’s domestic partner was charged with campaign finance violations Thursday, a day after Salame asked a judge to vacate his conviction or block her indictment.

The indictment against Michelle Bond, the mother of Salame’s eight-month-old child, was unsealed by federal prosecutors in Manhattan alleging she accepted unlawful contributions in connection with her unsuccessful run for Congress in 2022.
