Congress’ independent watchdog agency has agreed to investigate President Donald Trump’s commission on voter fraud following complaints from Democratic senators about its lack of transparency. “The GAO’s decision to investigate is essential to protecting American voters,” Bennet said in a statement. Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson, a Republican on the commission, said Wednesday that the commission’s work had stopped while those lawsuits were pending. Democrats on the commission have openly expressed frustration they have been kept in the dark about what the panel is working on. A spokesman for the commission did not respond to a request for comment on the investigation.
