Donald Trump's presidential campaign has accused the Labour Party of 'interference' in the US election. The Republican nominee's team have filed an official complaint after reports of British party activists travelling to the States to campaign for his rival Kamala Harris.
A statement on DonaldJTrump.com on Tuesday night said: “The Trump-Vance Campaign has filed a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint against the Harris-Walz Campaign and the Labour Party of the United Kingdom for illegal foreign campaign contributions and interference in our elections”.
The linked complaint addressed to the Federal Election Commission refers to reports by The Telegraph newspaper regarding people associated with Labour going to the US to campaign for Kamala Harris.
