FEDERAL ELECTIONS COMMISSION FINES WYO GOP $52,000
The Federal Elections Commission fined the Wyoming Republican Party $52,000 for a campaign finance violation stemming from former President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, according to campaign finance records and interviews with party officials.
In March, the Wyoming Republican Party paid the FEC $52,000 for an unspecified campaign finance violation, according to campaign finance records. The same day, the Republican National Committee transferred $52,000 to the Wyoming GOP to cover the cost, and “not one penny” of state funds was used, according to former state party chairman Matt Micheli.
