A former Federal Elections Commission official said that the Manhattan District Attorney’s office has no authority to “enforce federal campaign finance” laws against former President Donald Trump.

“It’s an extremely dubious prosecution, and I say that as a former commissioner on the Federal Election Commission,” former FEC Commissioner Hans von Spakovsky, who was nominated by former President George W. Bush as FEC commissioner in 2006, told Just The News over the weekend.
