This is CNN.

A former aide to Ron Paul and current strategist for a pro-Donald Trump super PAC was convicted Thursday of falsifying campaign records in a 2012 scheme to pay for a presidential endorsement.

A federal jury in Iowa found Jesse Benton guilty on all counts, which included conspiracy and false records charges. Benton was convicted along with John Tate and Dimitrios Kesari, also former Paul aides.

Benton is chief strategist of the Great America PAC, the primary PAC backing Trump's presidential bid.

The PAC, as well as an attorney for Tate, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Benton's attorneys declined to comment.

He's the chief strategist of the Super PAC that is funding Trump.

It's nothing major. Just a kii.

This is sketchy... considering how the GOP elite treated Ron Paul in the 2012 primaries.
