Schweikert was fined $125,000 by the Federal Election Commission in 2022 for misreporting spending and diverting campaign funds for personal use. His former chief of staff also agreed to pay a $7,500 fine. The FEC report concluded some misfilings were intended to conceal impermissible or embarrassing disbursements from public view.
