and yet the fec persists in trying to regulate and in this case, there were votes that came close to punishing fox news for engaging in news coverage. >> reporter: the democratic commissioner voted that fox violated the law but the case should be dropped. >> i voted to dismiss the complaint. i did not vote to punish fox news. >> reporter: in 1980, the fec did pressure a newspaper into dropping its debate sponsorship, prompting this moment. >> i am paying for this microphone. >> reporter: the question is, whether it will have a chilling effect on news organizations staging future news debates. >>> relief is on the way for puerto rico. president obama signed a bill to help the u.s. territory, calling it a step in the right direction, though not perfect. the rescue package will oversee puerto rico's finances and debt restructuring. puerto rico is $70 billion in debt, with nearly $2 billion in payments due friday. >>> the fight for gun control and against it is not over. house speaker paul ryan told republicans today to expect measures on the floor next week. the measures include plans t

>> fec is independent agency.he argument that the democratic commissioners made is that by creating a second debate which other networks went on to do, including cnn changed the criteria to get carly fiorina into one of its debate, adding 7 candidate undercard debate when there were 17 candidates running this amounted to illegal corporate contribution to those candidates. trish: come on. >> sound kind of word. began complaint with rather obscure candidate who wanted to be on the stage. hundreds of people were running. you can't have ebb. this is the key thing that everybody may not know, the law fec has a free press exemption to prevent government meddling to journalistic newsroom decisions that did not seem to dissuade members of the fec. trish: pretty amazing stuff. howie, thanks for joining me. join me with howie on "mediabuzz," every single sunday. >>> hillary clinton out raised donald trump in may. a pro-trump super-pac, doubled its fund-raising total in june. will more people start donating to pro-trump supe

these figures are not from an official fec filing. it did not announce how much cash the campaign has on hand. by comparison, the clinton campaign said it raised over 40 million in june and reports 44 million dollars in cash on hand at the end of the month. clinton and her allies are outspending trump 43 million to 14 million. the trump campaign itself has yet to spend a cent on tv or radio ads. the figures really stand out when looking at the battleground state comparison. no pro trump money has been spent in north carolina, iowa or new hampshire. team clinton is also outspending team trump in the battleground states just under 43 million to 900,000 and some change. >>> former candidate and senator marco rubio says le not attend the republican national convention later this month. a spokeswoman tells the tampa bay times rubio will miss out. trump is preferable to clinton, he disagrees with trump on many issues and some of trump's statements he finds, quote, unacceptable. >>> on the democratic side, bernie sanders still has yet to end
