On Tuesday, in response to the bipartisan Senate report detailing Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, Federal Election Commission member and former chairwoman Ellen Weintraub warned that the revelations mandate action to safeguard the integrity of the vote.
Weintraub, a Democratic commissioner who has served on the FEC since 2002, has been a vocal and outspoken opponent of President Donald Trump's disinformation on elections. She previously took the president to task for suggesting he'd be open to accepting foreign assistance again, and for pushing voter fraud conspiracy theories.
