Trump Campaign Files FEC Complaint Over U.K. Labour Party Interference in U.S. Election

Donald Trump’s Presidential campaign filed an official complaint on Oct. 21 with the Federal Election Committee (FEC) against Great Britain’s Labour Party and the Harris for President campaign for “Making and Accepting Illegal Foreign National Contributions.” It opens:

“When representatives of the British government previously sought to go door-to-door in America, it did not end well for them. This past week marked the 243 anniversary of the surrender of British forces at the Battle of Yorktown, a military victory that ensured that the United States would be politically independent of Great Britain. It appears that the Labour Party and the Harris for President campaign have forgotten the message. I write on behalf of Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc. to request an immediate investigation into blatant foreign interference in the 2024 Presidential Election in the form of apparent illegal foreign national contributions made by the Labour Party of the United Kingdom and accepted by Harris for President, the principal campaign committee of Vice President Kamala Harris.”

London daily, The Telegraph reported on Oct. 23: “Morgan McSweeney, the Prime Minister’s chief of staff, and Matthew Doyle, director of communications, attended the [Democratic Party] convention in Chicago and met with Ms Harris’ campaign team.… Sir Keir’s director of strategy, also went to Washington in September to brief Ms. Harris’ presidential campaign on Labour’s election-winning approach. In the wake of these strategic meetings, the Harris campaign has been following in the footsteps of then-Senator Joseph Biden by generously borrowing language and themes from prominent Labour Party officials.”
