Representative Maxine Waters’ campaign has been hit with a $68,000 fine by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) after an investigation found that it accepted and disbursed contributions exceeding allowable amounts.
The group’s treasurer, referred to as the “committee” in the FEC filing, is accused of “knowingly accepting excessive contributions” and “failing to accurately report both receipts and disbursements made.”
Along with the sizable fine, Waters’ (D-CA) campaign is sending their Treasurer “to a Commission-sponsored training program for political committees.”
Legal counsel for her campaign, in a letter to the FEC amid the investigation, admitted “errors were made which were not willful or purposeful.”
The FEC, in a bipartisan 4-0 vote, opted to accept the agreement and will subsequently close the file on the matter.
The most vocal unhinged Democrats are always guilty of corruption or fraud.
