From Axios.com….
The Federal Election Commission has voted not to investigate allegations that Trump campaign representatives — including Donald Trump Jr. — solicited illegal foreign assistance in 2016, Axios has learned.
The big picture: The commission deadlocked in a 3-3 vote on whether to probe potential campaign finance violations surrounding an infamous meeting with two Russian nationals at Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign.
News of the vote comes shortly after the FEC officially closed the file on another 2016 campaign matter: former President Trump’s hush-money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
The Daniels and Trump Tower cases are two in a large backlog of FEC complaints related to Trump’s — and, to a smaller degree, Hillary Clinton’s — conduct during the 2016 campaign.
The commission is expected to announce votes on a number of those cases in the coming weeks, with little enforcement action expected.
