HARTFORD, Conn. — The head of the Connecticut Democrats has filed a federal elections complaint against Republican Linda McMahon, claiming the former wrestling executive received corporate help for her U.S. Senate race.
Nancy DiNardo claims World Wrestling Entertainment removed several videos on the Internet site YouTube to help McMahon's campaign. She says the videos showed wrestlers engaging in a simulated rape and other offensive acts.
WWE says the videos were removed because they were copyrighted material.
DiNardo says removal of the videos amounted to a prohibited in-kind corporate contribution to the McMahon campaign.
McMahon's spokesman Ed Patru says that's a baseless accusation and that the campaign has complied with all federal election rules.
McMahon is one of five Republicans vying for the GOP nomination and the chance to challenge Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd next year.
