President Trump fired Federal Election Commission Chairwoman Ellen Weintraub on Thursday in a move that the Democratic official claims is illegal.
Weintraub, who has served as an FEC commissioner since 2002, shared the termination letter she received from the president on X and signaled that she won’t be leaving her post quietly.
“Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner & Chair of [FEC],” Weintraub wrote on the social media platform. “There’s a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn’t it.”

“I’ve been lucky to serve the American people & stir up some good trouble along the way,” she added. “That’s not changing anytime soon.”
