Golden Finance reported that according to foreign media reports, Trump's campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris was illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, called the move a "shameless money grab that will constitute the largest excessive donation and the most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Act." Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, the latter took over the bank account of the Biden campaign committee. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who has represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was "wishful thinking" by his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that the complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.
