President Trump claimed earlier this year that thousands of people were bused into New Hampshire to vote illegally. Weintraub's letter comes a month after she issued a statement publicly calling on Trump to immediately share his proof of illegal voting. "Weintraub's first challenge to Trump drew a rebuke from the nonprofit group Cause of Action Institute, which said that allegations of voter fraud fall outside the campaign finance jurisdiction of the FEC. The group sent a letter to the FEC inspector general requesting an investigation of whether Weintraub misused government resources by posting her statement on the agency's website. In her letter to Trump on Wednesday, Weintraub said that his claim “falls squarely within the jurisdiction” of the FEC because no committee has reported to the agency paying for buses to transport voters.
