The chair of the Federal Election Commission has stated that she will not leave her position after being fired under the administration of President Donald Trump, pointing out her removal is against the law.
"Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner & Chair of @FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been lucky to serve the American people & stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon," Commissioner Ellen Weintraub wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
