FEC deadlocks on Trump allegations

The Federal Election Committee deadlocked 3-3 on a complaint that former President Trump’s 2020 campaign laundered $617 million in spending that ultimately went to Trump and his family, Insider reported this week.The nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center had filed the FEC complaint in response to reporting that Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner created companies that funneled funds to Trump family members. FEC Commissioner Ellen Weintraub, a Democrat, said she believed the Trump campaign violated federal law, and was “disappointed” that the vote made it look like FEC decisions were made “on a partisan basis.” The Campaign Legal Center sued the FEC in March, alleging regulators were slow-walking the complaint.
