Trump files complaint against Harris for taking over Biden’s campaign funds
SUMMARY
The Trump campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against Vice President Kamala Harris, alleging her campaign violated federal campaign finance laws by replacing Joe Biden’s name with her own to control his campaign funds. Trump’s campaign general counsel, David Warrington, argued, “This is little more than a thinly veiled $91.5m excessive contribution from one presidential candidate to another.” The complaint seeks to prevent Harris from accessing Biden’s funds and requests the FEC to consider fines or criminal referral if deemed unlawful. The Harris campaign dismissed the complaint as a distraction, noting they raised $100 million in donations since Biden’s withdrawal.
