c*******e 发帖数: 5818 | 1 Election panel complaint focuses on Castro release of Trump donor IDs
First he drew the ire of Twitter and Republican lawmakers when he released
the names and employers of Trump donors in Texas; now Rep. Joaquin Castro, D
-Texas, has been hit with an official Federal Election Committee (FEC)
complaint over the controversial action.
On Friday, conservative lawyer Dan Backer filed an FEC complaint alleging
that Castro’s actions violated the Federal Election Committee Act by
encouraging harassment of the donors.
“By exposing Trump donors — and one of his own as well — to bullying and
intimidation, Castro broke the law, and it’s high time we hold him
accountable for his despicable, cowardly actions,” Backer said.
Also included in the alleged violation is a precedent set by a 1989 court
case that grants regular citizens “practical obscurity,” even though their
donations are a matter of public record. |
