Dinesh D’Souza in Court: ‘I Deeply Regret My Conduct’
ERIC LACH - MAY 20, 2014
Dinesh D’Souza told a federal judge on Tuesday that he “deeply” regretted violating a federal campaign finance law, and that he knew that what he did had been wrong, during a hearing in which the conservative author pleaded guilty to making more than $10,000 of contributions in the names of others.
“I knew that making a campaign contribution in the name of another was wrong and something the law forbids,” D’Souza told U.S. District Judge Richard Berman in Manhattan, according to The New York Times. “I deeply regret my conduct.”
“Are you pleading guilty to this crime because you are in fact guilty of it?” Berman asked in response.
“Yes, your honor,” D’Souza said.
