Legal counsel for the former president, Donald Trump, submitted a formal appeal with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) this Tuesday. The objection asserts that Vice President Kamala Harris is not lawfully entitled to take control of nearly $100 million, contributed to President Joe Biden’s campaign by simply switching the name of his campaign board.

As practical as it sounds, such an action from Biden’s earlier campaign to Harris’ consequent campaign amounts to more than a thinly veiled excessive contribution of about $91.5 million from one presidential candidate to another. According to legal statutes, federal nominee board contributions towards other federal nominee boards are capped at $2,000,” expressed David A. Warrington-Trump’s general counsel- throughout the plaintiff’s statement.

Moreover, it has been claimed that Vice President Harris is on course to enact the most egregious campaign finance violation in American history and orchestrate it all through official FEC documents.

To become a frontrunner for an office role, candidates ought to form a campaign committee under their moniker and submit an official claim of candidacy citing that committee as their fundraising agent. However, these standards were seemingly bypassed by Harris. It appears that Kamala’s name substituted Biden’s on Sunday in a revised version of his Statement of Candidacy while nominating ‘Harris for President’ as her committee using the same identification as ‘Biden for President’. Concurrently, she moved for an amendment changing the committee’s existing nomenclature.

Trump’s attorneys argue there is no provision within federal campaign finance laws allowing VP Harris to seize control over Biden’s candidacy funds through such an amendment maneuver directly attempting personification or declaring ownership over these cash assets.

A major point here is – with a handful of exceptions- a candidate can be associated only with one single electoral committee proposal. Despite having her name featured on all documents pertaining to ‘Biden Committee’ since 2020, Trump’s legal team insists that it doesn’t qualify her to assume control over those funds. They further argue if she had renounced her vice-presidential candidacy to confront Biden straightforwardly for the presidency, Harris wouldn’t be eligible to claim half of the campaign’s financial resources.

The complaint also suggested a potential violation if the FEC were to consider Biden formally ending his candidacy ahead of transferring his campaign funds over to Harris. There is a stipulation that disallows federal candidates from retaining donations for campaigns they are not actively involved in.

Donald Trump’s legal advisers have levied allegations of fraudulent practices against both Kamala Harris and committee treasurer Keana Spencer who handles FEC form submissions. It was stipulated that such actions amount to a conspiracy aimed at inhibiting lawful operations within the United States and should, therefore, come under DOJ scrutiny for consequent investigations and potential prosecution.

Notably, Spencer had filed an additional document titled ‘miscellaneous document’ with the FEC signifying VP Harris’ intention to run for Presidency in 2024 while attending solely to associated campaign activities moving forward.

Currently, a balanced pool of commissioners from both parties – three Republicans and three Democrats – oversee the FEC. However, it bears mentioning here that any action taken by this independent body will require majority approval from these six commissioners.
