In a significant move, the Democratic National Committee and various affiliated groups have filed a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, challenging his recent executive orders aimed at increasing White House control over independent regulatory agencies, specifically the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The lawsuit accuses Trump of attempting to undermine the independence of the FEC and claims that his actions threaten the integrity of free and fair elections. The Democrats argue that this represents an unprecedented assertion of presidential power, which could effectively weaponize the FEC to dictate electoral outcomes. This legal action comes as part of a broader strategy by national Democrats to confront what they see as alarming overreaches by Trump during his time in office.
