Democratic group files complaint to FEC over Musk-Trump interview: [View all]
The Democratic group End Citizens United has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) arguing that Donald Trump’s interview with Elon Musk was an illegal corporate contribution to Trump’s presidential campaign.
The FEC complaint, filed Tuesday, alleges that the interview violated a ban on corporate donations to federal candidates and that an exemption for the media did not apply to the circumstances.
The complaint reads, “The event itself included repeated express advocacy by Musk for Trump.”
