Trump Campaign Files Complaint Against UK Labour Party's Election Interference

The Facts

• The Donald Trump campaign has accused UK’s Labour party of “interference” in the US presidential election. In an Oct. 21 letter to the US Federal Election Commission, it cited media reports on contact between the party and Vice Pres. Kamala Harris's campaign.

• Seeking a probe into the "blatant foreign interference," Team Trump accused its Democratic rival of receiving "apparent illegal foreign national contributions." It said Harris's "dangerously liberal policies and rhetoric" were inspired from the “far-Left” Labour.

• This follows revelations by a Labour member on LinkedIn that some 100 party officials were set to campaign for Harris in key swing states of the US. Media reports, too, claimed that Labour advisors had assisted the Harris campaign and held meetings with Democratic officials.
