Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s campaign is fundraising off what it calls illegal “wiretapping” after a Mother Jones report Tuesday released secretly taped audio of McConnell and his team discussing the Kentucky Republican’s re-election strategy. 

Mother Jones’ original story detailed ways that McConnell and his campaign team had considered attacking potential rival actress Ashley Judd. Judd recently decided not to challenge McConnell. McConnell’s campaign has asked the FBI to investigate the secret recording.
