RNC Chairman accused of finance irregularities

Florida Sen. Mel Martinez, general chairman of the Republican National Committee, is facing fallout from a slew of irregularities related to his Senate campaign.

In his squeaker 2004 race, Martinez accepted contributions over the legal limit and failed to properly disclose information about donations, according to an audit released last week by the Federal Election Commission.

The audit is being used by Martinez's political opponents to question his leadership and could lead to a hefty fine.

Mark Bubriski, a spokesman for the Florida State Democratic Party, called the violations "pretty big mistakes."
