President Donald Trump dismissed the commissioner and president of the Federal Federal Commission in the United States Ellen Weintraub, sending him a letter concerning his “dismissal”.
Trump took office on January 20, and since then has taken a massive cure of government, sidelined and dismissed hundreds of senior agency officials and officials while trying to install More loyalists and reduce bureaucracy.
Weintraub, like many others, was in Trump’s reticle, but she didn’t seem to stand up.
“Has received a letter from Potus today claiming to withdraw as a commissioner and president of [the FEC]”Weintraub wrote Thursday in an article on X.” There is a legal means to replace the FEC commissioners – that’s not all. I had the chance to serve the American people and to suspend good problems along the way. It doesn’t change anytime soon. “”

“Dear Commissioner Weintraub,” says the letter. “You are by this as a member of the Federal Electoral Commission, in force immediately. Thank you for your service to the Commission.”
The letter was dated January 31, 2025 and signed by Trump.
