Trump Campaign Accuses Harris of ‘$91.5M Heist’ of Biden’s War Chest
Donald Trump’s campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday arguing that funds raised for Joe Biden’s re-election campaign cannot legally be transferred to Kamala Harris.
The complaint filed by David Warrington, the Trump campaign’s general counsel, comes after the president dropped out of the race Sunday and endorsed his vice president to become the Democratic nominee. Harris moved fast to get her election bid up and running, taking control of Biden’s campaign accounts and claiming to already have the support of enough delegates to seal the nomination.
“Kamala Harris is seeking to perpetrate a $91.5 million dollar 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 wrote in the FEC complaint, according to The New York Times.
