The Trump Campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission against President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday accusing them of violating campaign finance laws by transferring Biden’s campaign funds to the 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, according to a report from the New York Times.

The complaint further accuses Biden and Harris of “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.”

Good luck.  They'll never be held accountable.

Are you trying to tell me that raising money for one candidate, and then giving all that money to a different candidate is against the rules? That has to be the most racist thing I have ever heard.

Kamala Harris must return the campaign funds she seized from the former presumptive Democrat nominee so says FEC Chairman Sean Cooksey. After Biden was was forced out under threat of the 25th Amendment Harris laid claim to his campaign's bank accounts.

Can Biden really just hand over millions in campaign cash to Kamala?
FEC Chairman Sean Cooksey noted that 'it raised a host of open questions about whether it is legal'

For most of the past three years, Vice President Kamala Harris has been even more unpopular than her historically unpopular boss, President Biden, due largely to her responsibility as a key player in the administration’s disastrous open border policies.

In light of Harris’ failures and unpopularity, it wouldn’t have been surprising if Biden had decided to replace her on the ticket with someone more competent.  If Biden had done that going into the Democratic convention, and Harris had claimed that she got to keep the Biden campaign’s hard-earned campaign funds, she would have been laughed out of the room.

After all, the money was all raised into the "Biden for President" campaign, with Harris’ name not included in "paid for" disclaimers and Harris not mentioned in the joint fundraising committee notices. Donors were not informed that the money could go to Harris, perhaps because of her unpopularity, or perhaps because it was never intended to go to her. 

Either way, if Harris couldn’t have kept Biden’s money upon being replaced on the ticket, then she also can’t keep Biden’s money when he was forced to withdraw because of infirmity.

Within hours of Biden’s announcement that he was withdrawing from competing to be his party’s nominee, the Harris team amended the Biden campaign’s Federal Election Commission (FEC) Statement of Organization to instead be for "Harris for President," with the bizarre committee e-mail address of fec@joebiden.com.

There is no legal authority for this unprecedented maneuver of replacing one candidate’s name with another on a FEC Form 1, and FEC Chairman Sean Cooksey diplomatically noted that "it raised a host of open questions about whether it is legal." ...
