#BREAKING: We just filed an @FEC complaint alleging the Trump campaign secretly hid the ultimate recipients of nearly $170 million in spending. Unlawful secrecy is unacceptable for any presidential campaign; our transparency laws must be enforced. campaignlegal.org/update/clc-fil…
The Trump campaign reported millions in payments to firms headed by Trump’s former campaign manager, Brad Parscale, and other firms, who disbursed funds to the campaign’s ultimate vendors. This had the effect of hiding millions in payments.
We’ve asked the @FEC—the only federal agency dedicated to enforcing the laws governing presidential campaigns—to take action. However, the @FEC lacks a quorum and cannot take action. We need a strong, reformed @FEC to protect the integrity of our elections. #FixTheFEC
Voters have a right to transparency in our elections. The Trump campaign’s scheme undermines this right; a failure to enforce the law would set a bad precedent for future campaigns.

.@maddow just reported on our complaint, being filed tomorrow w/ the @FEC, calling for an investigation into the convoluted relationship between Mercer-backed John Bolton super PAC and Cambridge Analytica (also primarily owned by Mercer).
Our complaint says the John Bolton super PAC violated election laws. Thom Tillis/NC GOP & John Bolton Super PAC used Cambridge Analytica’s services. It seems @CamAnalytica used information from its work for Thom Tillis/NC GOP to develop the John Bolton Super PAC pro-Tillis ads.
Super PACS can accept unlimited contributions if they are independent but if super PACs can coordinate spending with campaigns, they can get around laws that limit the amount of money candidates can take. That’s what the John Bolton Super PAC did here.

CLC's @waltshaub met with Chair @TGowdySC and Ranking Member @RepCummings of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today, laying out 13 actions that would strengthen government ethics in the U.S. bit.ly/2hoetZz
Action #1-- It's critical to insulate the Director of @OfficeGovEthics from potential political retaliation
Action #2-- OGE needs to be able to communicate directly with Congress so that it can raise concerns about the activities of the Executive Branch, offer solutions, and discuss its budget without needing permission from another agency.
