Jesse Benton, a longtime ally of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) who is heading up a super PAC supporting his presidential campaign, was indicted Wednesday on charges that he concealed payments to a former Iowa state senator.
The charges stem from an alleged endorsement-for-pay scheme during the 2012 presidential campaign of former Republican congressman Ron Paul of Texas. Two others were also indicted.
