The Federal Election Commission (FEC) says Donald Trump accepted 1,100 donations totaling $1.3 million that violated various campaign finance laws.
The commission sent Timothy Jost, the Trump campaign's treasurer, a letter Sunday seeking clarification of its financial filings last month.
The FEC's message notes two main concerns, the first being whether Trump's campaign accepted contributions from organizations not properly registered with the commission. Another worry, the letter adds, is whether donors giving to the Republican's campaign exceeded legal donation limits.
“If any apparently prohibited contribution in question was incompletely or incorrectly disclosed, you should amend your original report with clarifying information,” it states. “In addition, please clarify whether the contribution(s) received from the referenced organization(s) is permissible.
“If any apparently excessive contribution in question was incompletely or incorrectly disclosed, you must amend your original report with the clarifying information.”
