Federal Elections Commissioner James Trainor last week said the charges against former President Trump brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg are not a campaign finance violation nor is there a “reporting violation of any kind,” the Washington Examiner reported.
Trainor argued that by trying to twist the law to make Trump’s hush money payment look like a violation of federal election laws, Bragg is “trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole.”
He argued that both the Justice Department and the FEC already looked into the case and refused to pursue it.
