Michelle Hee Lee from the Washington Post looks at the impact of a United States Supreme Court Case in 2010, Citizens United v. FEC, which frees labor unions, corporations and 501(c)4 “social welfare non-profits” – working “for the well-being of society” – to spend money on electioneering communications.

The Post’s Michelle Ye Hee Lee explains how some donors can contribute large sums of money to influence political campaigns without revealing their identities.
