BREAKING: Trump campaign files FEC complaint against Biden and Harris over transfer of campaign funds

“Kamala Harris is seeking to perpetrate a $91.5 million dollar heist of Joe Biden’s leftover campaign cash.”

Donald Trump's presidential campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris which accused the president and vice president of violating campaign finance laws by transferring Biden's campaign funds to Harris' campaign.
"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," David Warrington, the Trump campaign's general counsel wrote in the complaint, per New York Times. He said that Biden and Harris were "flagrantly violating the Act by making and receiving an excessive contribution of nearly one hundred million dollars, and for filing fraudulent forms with the Commission purporting to repurpose one candidate’s principal campaign committee for the use of another candidate."
Warrington continued: "To date, Biden for President has provided no indication that it will return or redesignate all of its general election contributions. Thus, each and every general election contribution received by Biden for President is an excessive contribution." In essence, he argued that Harris is not the Democrat's official nominee yet and Biden cannot keep the general election funds he received if he is no longer a general election candidate.
The lawyer asked for a prompt response from the FEC on the matter, as Harris "is in the process of committing the largest campaign finance violation in American history and she is using the Commission’s own forms to do it."
A Biden spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Times. An FEC spokeswoman said the agency could not comment on pending enforcement matters.
