The Trump campaign claims the Washington Post made illegal donations to Harris

Donald Trump’s campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday, alleging that Washington Post made illegal in-kind contributions to the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris through his adulated coverage.

“For example, one of the promoted articles highlighted how the Harris digital team was pushing content on social media claiming people were leaving President Trump’s rallies early,” the statement said.

“A month later, The Washington Post published an article, allegedly endorsed by The Post, on the same subject with similar editorial framing.

“A reasonable conclusion is that the Harris team communicated its messaging strategy to The Washington Post, and that that messaging strategy is reflected in what The Post chooses to promote,” he concludes.

In a statement, the Trump campaign said it was part of “pro-Kamala propaganda” by the media.
