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.

Lets see if we can find a way to delay the complaint until after the election.

There’s no need to force a delay; the FEC moves at a snail’s pace. They’re still working on cases from the 2016 election.

The chairman trump stooge, Sean Cooksey said on Fox yesterday that Harris getting Bidens war chest is "fraudulent."

Trump filled the complaint today. He basically signaled to Trump right on Fox, that trump could make the complaint and he will back him

I guarantee he will drop everything to "rule" on this.

Ellen Weintraub who is a democratic FEC commissioner said that what Harris is doing isn't illegal but it doesn't matter since the chairman who is above her is a fucking toadie to Trump since he gave him the job.

There are 3 Democrats and 3 Republicans (all nominated by Trump) so it's likely the vote will be gridlocked and therefore Harris not being able to get the money since the decision will be "on hold."

What's funny is that Cooksey's term expired in 2021 but he gets to keep serving until a replacement is appointed by the Senate. If MAGA gets the Senate, they will get 2 MAGA replacements for the expired Democrats making any vote 4 -2.

trump could make the compliment and he will back him

I'm guessing "compliment" was supposed to be "complaint"?
