FEC official believes Trump and Russia may have colluded to spread anti-Clinton Facebook content

.


EXCERPT

The Federal Election Commission may investigate whether Russian agents paid for Facebook ads to spread damaging stories about Hillary Clinton in the weeks ahead of the presidential election.

FEC commissioner Ellen Weintrub, a Democratic appointee, asked the agency to examine whether foreign agents illegally paid the social media service for political advertisements, in addition to related ongoing probes initiated by complaints filed by watchdog groups in December, reported Politico.

The FBI and several congressional committees are also investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to interfere with the election.
