Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's campaign manager, Jesse Benton, resigned Friday after being mentioned in court documents in relation to the Ron Paul campaign in 2012 illegally paying a former Iowa GOP state lawmaker to switch his endorsement from Michelle Bachmann to Paul. Benton was the chairman of the Paul campaign during that race. Though he has not been accused of wrongdoing in the case and denies any role in it, he said that press reports and rumors "risk unfairly undermining and becoming a distraction to this reelection campaign."
