As of December 2023, the Federal Election Commission has received 59 complaints alleging that Donald Trump or his committees violated the Federal Election Campaign Act. In 29 of those cases, nonpartisan staff in the FEC’s Office of General Counsel recommended the FEC investigate Trump.
Yet not once has a Republican FEC commissioner voted to approve any such investigation or enforcement of the law against Trump, a new CREW analysis found.
We have campaign finance laws. But they don't mean much if every single time that powerful politicians – like Donald Trump – face FEC investigations, the GOP commissioners block action.
John, Donald Trump has been credibly accused of a staggering number of crimes. And institution after institution keeps letting him get away with it.
Here at CREW, we believe no one is above the law – not even a former president. It’s why we’re doing everything in our power to hold Trump accountable – whether it’s for inciting an insurrection, or breaking campaign finance laws.
Help CREW continue our work to hold Donald Trump accountable for *all* his law breaking → [[link removed]]If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Because at least four of the six FEC Commissioners need to approve any FEC investigation, and because only three of those seats can be filled by members of the same party, Republicans hold a veto over the agency’s enforcement and have repeatedly used it to shoot down any recommended enforcement of campaign finance law against Trump.
They are truly committed to shielding Trump from accountability.
FIRSTNAME, while some institutions, like the Supreme Court and the FEC have let Trump off the hook time and time again, some are stepping up.
Prosecutors in New York, for example, are heading to trial on April 15th to make the case that Trump committed campaign finance crimes, and that those crimes matter. That’s a good thing.

No one should be allowed to pay hush money to cover up a big story and keep voters in the dark before an election. Not even Donald Trump.
We’re committed to holding Trump accountable and defending our democracy, no matter how many institutions decide they won’t step up. That’s why we’re never going to stop shining a light on Trump’s campaign finance and corruption issues.
