The Trump campaign has reportedly submitted a complaint to the Federal Election Commission alleging that the transfer of funds from the Biden reelection campaign to the Harris presidential campaign violates campaign finance regulations.
However, according to @cnn the funds in question were originally raised with authorization for both President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The news outlet also reports that the complaint was filed against President Biden, Vice President Harris, the Biden campaign, and campaign treasurer Keana Spencer.

The filing reads, “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 “Act”).”
According to the Trump campaign’s general counsel, David Warrington, they are accused of “submitting false forms to the Commission, falsely claiming to reallocate one candidate’s main campaign committee for the benefit of another candidate.” Warrington alleges that Harris merely substituted her name for Biden’s without filing her own Statement of Candidacy.
“There is no provision in federal campaign finance law for Kamala Harris to take over Joe Biden’s candidacy now by quite literally attempting to become him via an amendment of his Form 2, assuming control of his campaign by amending Form 1, and making off with all of his cash,” wrote Warrington.

Nevertheless, the Harris campaign is anticipated to strongly refute the claim, pointing out that when the campaign was initially registered with the FEC, it was designated as the “principal campaign committee” for both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. The committees that received the funds are essentially the same, with the only difference being the name change to Harris for President, Harris Victory Fund, and Harris Action Fund.
