President Trump's push for greater control over independent agencies has raised concerns among experts, particularly those who monitor the Federal Election Commission's enforcement of campaign finance laws. This move could potentially impact the regulation of election financing and fundraising, sparking worries about the influence of money in politics and the role of the FEC in ensuring transparency and accountability. As the debate over campaign finance reform continues, Trump's efforts to rein in independent agencies have significant implications for the future of election regulation and the integrity of the democratic process, including issues related to dark money and political advertising.
