FATEFUL DAY: Mike Huckabee with Kim Davis on the day his campaign made the expensive decision to play "Eye of the Tiger" at a campaign rally.
The Federal Election Commission this week released a draft opinion that says Mike Huckabee should not be able to use a legal defense fund to pay a legal settlement he reached for unauthorized use of the song "Eye of the Tiger" at a campaign rally.
The Arkansas Times reported last month that Huckabee had reached a settlement — terms undisclosed — in a federal court in Illinois in the lawsuit by Frank Sullivan III, co-author of the song by Survivor that rose to fame in "Rocky III."
Huckabee played the song at a Kentucky campaign rally Sept. 8 at which he appeared with Kim Davis, the county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Since the settlement, Huckabee's Washington law firm has been seeking FEC approval to use a legal defense fund to pay for his attorney fees and a portion of the settlement, which Huckabee has personally guaranteed.
The draft opinion, which will be up for final approval June 30, indicates the FEC isn't inclined to go along.

No, the Fund may not be used as described in the request to pay the Committee’s legal fees or settlement obligation arising out of the copyright infringement lawsuit.
