Senior Democratic National Committee (DNC) officials have rejected a request from Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’s campaign to change the leadership of two crucial committees at the national convention this summer.

Jim Roosevelt and Lorraine Miller, co-chairs of the Rules and Bylaws Committee, dismissed arequest to remove Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy and former Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank as co-chairmen of the convention's platform and rules committees, respectively.

The campaign’s complaint, they wrote in a letter to Sanders lawyer Brad Deutsch, failed to allege a violation of the convention’s rules governing the conduct of elections or delegate selection. 

“Having carefully reviewed your challenge, we find that it fails to meet the criteria for the foregoing reasons and pursuant to the Regulations and Bylaws Committee for the 2016 Democratic National Convention, Reg. 3.4(G)(i) we are compelled to dismiss it,” they wrote to Deutsch.

Deutsch sought to have Malloy and Frank removed from the panels, which will have power over the party’s policy positions and the procedures for the next presidential election, citing “personal hostility” toward Sanders.

Good work DNC! I'm tired of Bernie and his team thinking they control everything. We don't NEED to support you nor do we need to face backlash for not supporting you! Go back to Vermont!

His ego seems to have gotten the better of him. Glad the DNC put him in his place.

Good. His lawsuit was completely frivolous and embarrassing. Soon we can put this behind us.

Hillary will be the official nominee next Tuesday. Bye Bye Bernie. Too bad he couldn't leave the campaign with some dignity. Embarrassing!
