CLC’s Latest Research Shows How the Trump Administration Is Leaving Our Democracy Vulnerable

On April 23, 2025, Campaign Legal Center (CLC) published its latest research highlighting how the Trump administration’s early actions have left our democracy more vulnerable to corruption, abuses of power, and foreign influence. With shocking speed, the Trump administration has moved to stop the enforcement of campaign finance and ethics laws, end efforts to monitor and curb foreign influence in our elections and government, and dismantle ethics compliance systems. CLC is not only tracking these actions, it is also actively engaged in challenging them, as well as working to reform campaign finance and ethics laws designed to ensure that candidates and elected officials are responsive and accountable to the public.
