Trump campaign files complaint over transfer of Biden funds to Harris.

[RandySF]

Donald J. Trump’s campaign filed a complaint on Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission against President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing them of violating campaign finance laws by rolling Mr. Biden’s campaign funds over to Ms. Harris.

The complaint, filed by the Trump campaign’s general counsel, David Warrington, came after Mr. Biden’s team amended the name of its committee on Sunday to “Harris for President,” once Mr. Biden announced he was no longer running for a second term.

The fight is over what is left in Mr. Biden’s coffers that he is turning over to Ms. Harris, who had been his running mate.

“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,” Mr. Warrington wrote in the complaint.

1. He don't have a leg to stand on

11. Doesn't need one, just MAGA judges who'll help him delay transfer while they think about like the USSC has already done

16. So far, it's only a complaint lodged with the FEC.

Any delay on their part doesn't hurt the Harris campaign. Apparently, they're still working on some issues from the 2016 election.

Trump did threaten to file a lawsuit, but that hasn't happened.

Mr. Trump’s advisers had made clear they would seek to legally block Mr. Biden from transferring funds to Ms. Harris, suggesting a lawsuit was likely. Instead, they are filing a complaint with the F.E.C., which may not be resolved before Election Day.

5. Boy, are they desperate with meaningless actions. What is questionable is the Saudi oil money funneled

to trump

[2naSalit]

6. Go ahead and...

Burn some more cash, fucking clown. There's nothing you can do about it, kind of "checkmate" right now.

[Jim__]

7. President Biden should make the transfer as an official act of his presidency. C'mon Joe, shove it in their face.

8. Is Lara "Bride of Gums" tRump in charge?

[JohnSJ]

9. This bullshit will get worse as the polls improve for Democrats and get worse for trump.

10. All they have to do is get a lower court to agree, then goes to an appellate

court for further delay and the Supreme Court will sit on a decision until next summer.
Of course this will work for tsf

[Phoenix61]

19. It's a campaign finance law issue.

There’s not a criminal code to cover it.

[Tribetime]

12. Does someone need his diaper changed

[SharonClark]

13. Those trump lawyers are so hyperbolic.

Just like the grifter family they represent.

[Retrograde]

14. What is the campaign supposed to do with it?

(Besides give it to Donnie, which is what they most likely want) It was the Biden-Harris campaign, and Harris is still in it.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. Yawn.

[The Wizard]

17. Make it a loan and

forgive it after the election.

[B.See]

18. The guy who habitually "violates campaign finance laws" files complaint

..slimy mfkr.

[Bayard]

20. Just more and more laughs in Breaking News this evening

[kirby]

21. Expect ruling in 2025

Toothless FEC takes forever to rule on anything. When they finally do they will affirm this is a BS claim by Trump.
