Elton John

British Sir Elton John’s planned fundraising concert for Hillary Clinton maybe illegal. This was due to US election laws that ban foreigners from fundraising or donating money for candidates. Sir Elton’s scheduled concert at New York’s Radio City Music Hall is nearly sold out. The only tickets left were those very costly ones in the range of $1000 – 2300.

There was an exemption in the 1966 US legislation. It stated that if the foreigner was not compensated for his fundraising, then it could be allowed. Sir Elton was believed to be donating his effort. If there was cause for complaints, it would be filed with the US Federal Election Committee. So far, no complaints were filed.
