Trump team files complaint with FEC over Biden transferring $91M to Harris campaign, calling it a ‘money grab’.

Former President Trump’s campaign recently filed a significant complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The complaint accuses them of violating campaign finance laws by transferring a whopping $91 million in fundraising cash from Trump’s campaign to Harris’ new campaign.

Biden’s exit from the presidential race followed weeks of pressure after a rocky debate performance. The president endorsed his running mate, Harris, as his successor for the Democratic ticket in 2024 and transferred the substantial campaign funds to her.

David Warrington, the general counsel for the Trump campaign, condemned this act as a blatant money grab and potentially the largest campaign finance violation in American history. According to the filing, this action could be a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971.

The complaint targets Biden, Harris, as well as their campaign committees for allegedly making and receiving an excessive contribution and submitting fraudulent forms to the Commission. It highlights that Harris had not filed a Statement of Candidacy or had her name linked to her official committee, ‘Biden for President.’

Despite the allegations made by Trump’s campaign, Team Harris remains focused on their campaign efforts. They have already set up numerous coordinated offices and recruited over a thousand staffers across battleground states. Additionally, they have raised a substantial amount of money and enlisted thousands of volunteers.

Refuting the claims made by Republicans, Harris’ team expressed confidence in their strong fundraising success since launching her candidacy. This achievement follows a decline in Biden’s fundraising post-debate, posing a significant challenge for his campaign.

Amidst the flurry of legal disputes and accusations, Harris addressed former Biden campaign staffers, emphasizing the need for their continued support as she gears up to run for the presidency with the election rapidly approaching.

As the political landscape escalates with allegations of financial misconduct and strategic shifts within campaign structures, both the Biden and Trump camps are intensifying their efforts to secure victory in the upcoming election. Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding saga.
