        Nor is former Republican @FEC chair @thetrevorpotter, now of @CampaignLegal. He writes of new @FEC commissioner Trey Trainor, also a Republican:pic.twitter.com/X0b39S6abH

        The @FEC just sent out a press release confirming that Trey Trainor is now officially a commissioner and that the FEC is scheduled to conduct a meeting on June 18. Last time the FEC conducted an open meeting? Aug. 22, 2019.pic.twitter.com/NGg4el9Sp7
