Mark Kirk, who has needed help with some everyday tasks such as preparing meals and physically getting around since suffering a debilitating stroke in 2012, put his live-in caregiver onto his campaign payroll, according to records and interviews.

While on Kirk's payroll, the caregiver twice came under criminal investigation — convicted in one case while the other is still pending in court.

Kirk's placement of his caregiver — who had no prior campaign experience — onto his campaign staff raises questions about whether Kirk used political donations to pay for personal expenses. Campaign finance records show that Kirk for Senate had paid his caregiver a salary totaling more than $43,000 from August 2013 through the end of 2014.

Federal law says campaign funds cannot be used for expenses that would occur regardless of whether the person were running for or holding office.
