SHARE THIS — 2h ago/ 937 AM EDT Fact- checking Trump attorney's claim that the FEC declined to probe hush plutocrat payment Ken Dilanian Trump counsel Joe Tacopina claimed Friday on the" TODAY" show that the Federal Election Commission “ turned this down, they said there was no crime ” in regard to the illegal crusade donation that Michael Cohen contended shamefaced to making to Trump’s crusade through the$,000 payment to Stormy Daniels. That statement is misleading at best. The FEC took no action on the case because it was paralyzed Two Popular officers wanted to move forward with an disquisition, while the two Republicans did not. One Democrat was absent on the day of the vote and one Republican was recused. In December 2020, the FEC issued an internal report from its Office of General Counsel that said it had set up “ reason to believe ” the Trump crusade had violated crusade finance law “ deliberately and consciously. ” FEC attorneys had recommended among other effects that the commission “ Find reason to believe that DonaldJ. Trump deliberately and consciously violated 52U.S.C.§ 30116( f) by deliberately accepting inordinate benefactions from MichaelD. Cohen. ” Two of the Popular officers, Shana Broussard and Ellen Weintraub, blamed the inactivity in a letter released intimately. “ To conclude that a payment, made 13 days before Election Day to hush up a suddenly newsworthy 10- time-old story, wasn't campaign- related, without so important as conducting an disquisition, defies reality, ” they wrote.
