The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has levied a $68,000 fine against Representative Maxine Waters’ campaign following an investigation that uncovered contributions and disbursements surpassing permitted limits.

The FEC filing names the campaign’s treasurer, identified as the “committee,” and alleges they “knowingly accepted excessive contributions” and “failed to report receipts and disbursements accurately.”

In addition to the hefty fine, Waters’ (D-CA) campaign is also enrolling their Treasurer in a Commission-sponsored training program for political committees.

Legal counsel for her campaign, in a letter to the FEC amid the investigation, admitted “errors were made which were not willful or purposeful.”

The FEC, in a bipartisan 4-0 vote, opted to accept the agreement and will subsequently close the file on the matter.

The most vocal unhinged Democrats are always guilty of corruption or fraud.
