Trump campaign files complaint against Harris

The Trump campaign has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), accusing Vice President Harris’s campaign of improperly taking over President Biden’s campaign funds when he left the race.

The complaint was filed on Tuesday by the Trump campaign's general counsel David Warrington and argues that transferring the funds to Harris's presidential campaign would amount to flagrantly violating ‘the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971’.

On Sunday, President Biden announced that he was withdrawing from the race for the White House on November 5 and endorsed Harris amid mounting pressure from top Democrats and donors following his disastrous presidential debate against Trump in late June.

“Kamala Harris is seeking to perpetrate a USD 91.5 million heist of Joe Biden's leftover campaign cash a brazen money grab that would constitute the single largest excessive contribution and biggest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended,” Warrington said.

“Kamala Harris is in the process of committing the largest campaign finance violation in American history and she is using the Commission's own forms to do it,” Warrington said in his filing.
