===Public Watchdog Complaint Accuses AM and AMA of Violating Federal Tax Code, Concealing Donor Information===
In 2020, Campaign for Accountability (CfA) filed a complaint accusing American Majority and its advocacy arm, [[American Majority Action]] (AMA), "of unlawfully putting more than half its expenses toward political activity and concealing donor information from regulators."<ref name=amcfa>Roger Sollenberger, [https://www.salon.com/2020/07/31/exclusive-right-wing-nonprofits-hit-with-criminal-complaint-for-self-dealing-tax-violations/ "Exclusive: Right-wing nonprofits hit with criminal complaint for self-dealing, tax violations"], ''Salon'', July 31, 2020, accessed June 13, 2021.</ref> The complaint also alleges that [[Ned Ryun]], the organization's founder and CEO, "has engaged for years in inappropriate self-dealing through a complex web of transactions."<ref name=amcfa/> Campaign for Accountability claimed that AMA spent about 85% of its 2016 expenses on "direct and indirect political campaign activities", violating the federal law that disallows [[501(c)(4)]] nonprofits from "engaging primarily in political activity."<ref name=amcfa/>

:“In the ''American Campaign Academy v.
