Trump sues Labor for ‘blatant foreign interference’ in US election

Donald Trump’s campaign has accused Labor and Kamala Harris of election interference in a federal complaint.

The former president’s team said it had filed a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the agency that oversees election laws, accusing Labor of making “illegal foreign campaign contributions and interference in our elections.”

In a statement announcing the suit, the Trump campaign accused Labor of being a “far-left” party that had “inspired Kamala’s dangerously liberal policies and rhetoric.”

Susie Wiles, Trump’s campaign manager, said: “In two weeks, Americans will once again reject the big government oppression that we rejected in 1776.

“The restive Harris-Walz campaign is seeking foreign influence to bolster its radical message – because it knows it can’t win over the American people.

“President Trump will strengthen the White House and put America and its people first. The Harris campaign’s acceptance and use of this illegal foreign aid is just one more attempt in a long line of anti-American election interference.”

Starmer: ‘They do it in their spare time’

It comes after Labor Party staff last week organized a trip for almost 100 activists to campaign for Ms Harris in several critical battleground states.

Asked if this was a mistake, Sir Keir Starmer insisted all members of his party were in the US on a completely voluntary basis, as in previous elections.
