Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign has filed a complaint with the US Federal Election Commission arguing that money raised for President Joe Biden's reelection effort cannot be transferred to fund Vice President Kamala Harris’ election bid, CNN has reported.
Legal experts had speculated an attempt to transfer funds raised by the Biden campaign to Harris could trigger a lawsuit.
"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," read the document as revealed by CNN Tuesday.
The campaign headquarters of Republican Donald Trump considered the transfer of funds from the campaign of White House head Joe Biden to Vice President Kamala Harris to be a violation of the law and filed a corresponding complaint with the Federal Election Commission. Bloomberg reports this.
