Rep. Mike Honda (D-San Jose) has filed a lawsuit against his opponent, Ro
Khanna, alleging that Khanna's campaign manager illegally obtained
sensitive fundraising data and used it to contact Honda's supporters.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday morning in the U.S. District Court of Northern
California, says Khanna's campaign manager, Brian Parvizshahi, had access
to donor lists and other proprietary information in 2012, when he served as
an intern for a fundraising consultant working for Honda at the time.

...

After he left the internship, the complaint says, Parvizshahi continued to
access files related to the Honda's fundraising, including after he joined
the Khanna campaign in January 2014.

It appears, based on the filings, that Parvizshahi last accessed Honda's
campaign fundraising information in mid-June 2015, apparently viewing at
least 17 separate files that afternoon.
