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.
This was pretty expected and will go nowhere useful for them. They’re literally just wasting time and money. Not only is there not a leg to stand on legally speaking, even if some Trump-sucking judge agreed to this, then the money could just be dumped into a Super PAC, and we all know how good they are at staying “independent.”
You would get a swell of people donating to Harris in protest if the original funds were blocked by a Trump judge.
They’re also muddying the waters.
This is what I’ve thought of a lot of Trumps legal strategies in recent months, but here we are - the guy is never gonna face consequences.
