Fired FEC head reveals there were 31 Trump complaints never investigated

Just days after Donald Trump ordered her fired, outgoing Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chair Ellen Weintraub dropped a bombshell on MSNBC on Sunday morning.

Speaking with the hosts of "The Weekend," Weintraub insisted that she can't be fired in the manner in which the Trump administration proceeded and that she is considering her legal options over the "unlawful" purging before she was asked what prompted her dismissal. That was when she explained the inner workings on the five-member commission.

"I have spoken out about how the agency operates and has operated, and have criticized the fact that the Federal Election Commission, I believe, has not done an effective enough job of being a fair and effective law enforcement agency," she told host Michael Steele. "We have dismissed far too many complaints, and I have spoken out in particular about the number of complaints that have been filed and dismissed against the man who is currently sitting in the White House."

Asked by Alicia Menendez, "What is most alarming to you?" she replied, "Well, I can't talk about anything that would be currently before the commission by law, complaints that are filed and any investigatory action remains confidential until the cases are closed."

She then continued. "But I can tell you that in the past we have had 63 separate complaints filed against the president or his political committees –– and not all complaints are well-founded not all complaints are worth the agency's time to pursue. But our nonpartisan professional staff has advocated that we pursue 31 of those cases and, in not a single one, did we get four votes to move forward."

"So I think that is deeply disturbing and I have spoken out about this, and I don't think that went unnoticed [by the Trump administration]," she added.
