Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' struggle to become the Democratic front-runner in the 2020 presidential election seemingly hit a major speed bump this week, as the Federal Election Commission issued a document with 69 pages of problematic donations to his campaign.
The FEC letter, dated Aug. 28, "requests information essential to full public disclosure" of Sanders' federal election campaign finances. "Failure to adequately respond by the response date noted above could result in an audit or enforcement action," the letter warns.
With an Oct. 2 deadline, Sanders has a little over a month to account for the 69 pages of "apparent excessive, prohibited, and impermissible contributions." Far from the small, grassroots donations that Sanders prides himself on, the document reveals plenty of contributions that exceed $1,000.
