FEC Commissioner Now Going After Right Wing Media Over Russian 'Collusion'

Audio By Carbonatix

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is targeting right-wing media outlets, alleging that they could’ve helped Russia interfere into our presidential election.

The Washington Examiner reports the commission will decide on Thursday whether or not to investigate websites like the Drudge Report, Breitbart and others on the right for violating election spending rules by allowing advertising on their Facebook pages by Russian entities.

The investigation is headed by the FEC’s Democrat commissioner, Ellen Weintraub.

She cited a recent report from Time magazine alleging that some right-wing media outlets may have had ties to Russian agents and may have coordinated election-related “attacks” through their advertising.
