FEC Chair Accuses DOJ of Policy Violations in Musk Letter

The DOJ's warning letter to Elon Musk's PAC is alleged to have breached federal policies by attempting to influence the 2024 election.

FEC Chairman Sean Cooksey claims the DOJ's letter to Musk's America PAC was an attempt to intimidate and deter support for President Trump.
The letter warned that a $1 million voter giveaway could violate federal law, though participants were not required to register as Republicans or vote.
Cooksey has called for an investigation by DOJ's Inspector General and the Office of Professional Responsibility into the actions taken.
The DOJ is accused of leaking the letter to the New York Times, allegedly breaching its media policies.
Musk, who has shifted political support to Trump, is set to lead a new federal agency under the incoming administration.
