FEC hits Trump with 1.3m in campaign violations
The Federal Election Commission is not Donald Trump’s friend.
The FEC determined that Trump’s campaign accepted about 1,100 donations — totaling approximately $1.3 million — that may be in violation of various campaign finance laws, CNN said Monday.
The commission sent Timothy Jost, the campaign’s treasurer, a letter Sunday seeking clarification of last month’s financial filings.The FEC’s message focused on two main concerns: whether Trump’s campaign accepted contributions from organizations not properly registered with the commission and whether donors giving to the Republican’s campaign exceeded legal donation limits.
