Statement of reasons of FEC Chair Ellen L. Weintraub regarding allegations that: "Torshin – a senior Russian central bank official with ties to Putin – had illegally funneled money to the NRA to help then-candidate Donald Trump win the presidency.” eqs.fec.gov/eqsdocsMUR/731…
The #NRA requested the matter be dismissed in a letter to the #FEC dated March 19, 2019: fec.gov/files/legal/mu…
Despite being "divided on whether to dismiss the allegations” against the #NRA, the #FEC “decided to close its file in this matter” as confirmed in a letter from the FEC to the NRA dated July 17, 2019. fec.gov/files/legal/mu…
At the end of August the entire #FEC was effectively shut down with the departure of GOP Commissioner Matthew Petersen. nbcnews.com/politics/2020-… h/t Anna S. King #RIPFEC #FederalElectionCommission #NationalRifleAssociation #NRA #Election2016 #TrumpStoleIt #GunReformNow
