The Federal Elections Commission (FEC) has closed its investigation into whether former President Donald Trump broke campaign finance rules when his then-attorney Michael Cohen paid $130,000 in alleged “hush money” to adult film actress Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election.
The bipartisan election commission, which is evenly split between three Republicans and three Democrat-aligned commissioners, dropped the inquiry and “closed the file” in the case known as Matter Under Review (MUR) #7313, according to the case docket summary and other documents.
