FEC Chair Ellen Weintraub tells ABC News she is concerned foreign entities could interfere in the 2020 election.
The Federal Election Commission Chairwoman, Ellen Weintraub told ABC News she fears that foreign entities could interfere in the 2020 election.
Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, two Soviet-born businessmen based in Florida, have been charged with four counts, including conspiracy to commit campaign finance fraud, false statements to the Federal Election Commission, and falsification of records. Both Parnas and Fruman have been tied to the work done by the president's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, in Ukraine, where Giuliani has had significant business interests.
She would not discuss the president calling for China to investigate Joe Biden, but said that any foreign interference is unwelcomed and on the issue of Trump's alleged involvement in asking Ukraine to investigate Biden, Weintraub wouldn't comment but defined what the law said. "So we have looked at in the domestic context ... things like mailing lists, contact lists, opposition research things that people sometimes pay for. I mean that is one issue that is a thing of value that something that people normally pay for. We would also look at whether somebody spent money in order to acquire the information in order to produce the information that would also be a relevant factor for us.
"Every candidate should be 100% clear with everyone they're dealing with that they are fully on board with complying with every law including and especially the law against accepting foreign money and foreign assistance."In June, Weintraub seemingly subtweeted the president, by releasing a statement saying that it's illegal to get help from a foreign government during an election.
The FEC Chairwoman has also been under scrutiny from Congressional Republicans and Republicans on her own Commission.
