Super PACs, which can accept unlimited donations, are legally barred from coordinating with or donating directly to politicians' campaigns.
Advertisement"I'm gratified that a bipartisan group at the FEC has rightly rejected this baseless, headline-seeking complaint," Luke Thompson, the executive director of the super PAC, told Business Insider.
"This super PAC was keeping him afloat as a candidate with research, messaging ideas, and all of the stuff that basically allowed him to remain viable."
In recent years, it's become increasingly common for campaigns and super PACs to use public websites to get around existing campaign finance laws.
Those materials had been funded by Never Back Down, a super PAC supporting the Florida governor.
