[EL] Candidate A in campaign finance case

[Hess, Doug]

I wondering why the name of the candidate is not listed in the indictment. I realize that the candidate may be innocent or not the subject of the investigation, but isn't it still in the public interest to know?

One of the founding members of the 1990s hip-hop group the Fugees has been charged in a campaign finance conspiracy that took place during the 2012 presidential election, the Justice Department said Friday.


A four-count indictment accuses Prakazrel "Pras" Michel of conspiring with fugitive Malaysian financer Low Taek Jho, usually known as Jho Low, to make and conceal foreign campaign contributions. He is alleged to have used straw donors to give campaign contributions to a U.S. presidential candidate, who is identified in the indictment only as Candidate A.
