The chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee defied State Department guidelines by traveling to France this month. That didn't stop him from lecturing Americans about the importance of following federal health and safety protocols.
The DCCC is funded through donations and is tasked with electing Democratic House candidates and helping incumbents keep their jobs. Campaign finance law forbids DCCC funds from being used for personal use.
The pair posed for a smiling picture together in Nice on Aug 10 with the city’s historic lighthouse in the background.
Three days later Maloney stood with a shirtless Florke surfside. “Daddy stop teasing me!” reads a top comment. More photos indicate the pair stopped by the Villa et Jardins Ephrussi de Rothschild in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat for the wedding of Haley Plourde-Cole, a frequent donor to his campaign.
