Former President Donald Trump's campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Tuesday alleging that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris violated campaign finance laws by sending $91.5 million to Harris' campaign.

The first to be sued report The document, reported by The New York Times, was submitted by Trump campaign legal adviser David Warrington and came after Harris announced her delegate acceptance as the new Democratic presidential nominee. (Update: Kamala Harris has secured enough support for the Democratic nomination despite never winning any delegates.)

“Kamala Harris is attempting to rob Joe Biden of $91.5 million in his remaining campaign funds, a brazen financial grab that represents the largest overcontribution and largest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended,” Warrington wrote.

Trump's lawyers accused Biden, Harris and their campaign finance officials of “flagrantly violating this law by making and receiving nearly $100 million in excessive contributions and by submitting false documents to committees with the intent to redirect one candidate's primary campaign committee to benefit another candidate.”

Harris announced her candidacy for president at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in August, having received the support of more than 3,000 delegates – more than the required 1,976. according to To the Associated Press.

The change in the Democratic nominee came after Biden announced on Sunday that he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. In a letter to X (formerly Twitter), the president said he had intended to seek reelection but believed it was best for the party and the country to focus on the remainder of his term.

In a second post, Biden endorsed Harris as his nominee and called on Democrats to “come together to defeat Trump.”

Since the announcement, the vice president has received an onslaught of support from lawmakers and Democratic donors, raising more than $100 million since Biden's withdrawal. according to To the BBC.

The White House, the Trump campaign and the FEC did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
