Marco Rubio yesterday in an interview with Fox News from a senate office building urged viewers to “chip in” to his presidential campaign. As noted by The Huffington Post and various news outlets, Rubio may have violated ethics rules that prohibits such action, but he also potentially broke federal law, which states it is, “unlawful for any person to solicit or receive a donation of money or other thing of value in connection with a Federal, State, or local election from a person who is located in a room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties by an officer or employee of the United States.”
