The Trump campaign on Tuesday filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission arguing money raised for President Joe Biden’s reelection bid cannot be transferred to Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.

The complaint was filed by the Trump campaign’s general counsel David Warrington and argues transferring the funds would amount to “little more than a thinly veiled $91.5 million excessive contribution from one presidential candidate to another.”

“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,” the complaint, a copy of which was obtained by CNN, states.

Isn’t Trump the one using campaign funds for his personal legal battles?

Hypocrisy has never been an obstacle for Republicans.

Didn't he just get in trouble for using a large sum to pay a porn star to be quiet he slept with while his pregnant wife was at home?

It wasn’t about the payout, it was about keeping her quiet in order to influence the election that the trial focused on.
