TRUMP FILES ELECTION INTERFERENCE AGAINST UK LABOUR PARTY – Starmer says members are volunteering in their “spare time”
Donald Trump’s Legal team has filed an extraordinary complaint to the Federal Election in Washington against the UK’s Labour Party for interference in the US presidential election.
Trump’s legal team says the Labour Party has sent members to campaign for his rival Kamala Harris in critical battleground states in recent weeks in a bid to influence the upcoming election on November 5th.
Trump’s team in a letter requested an immediate investigation into “blatant foreign interference” in the election in the form of “apparent illegal foreign national contributions made by the Labour Party of the United Kingdom” and accepted by Harris’s campaign committee.
Those referenced in the letter include Matthew Doyle, Downing Street’s director of communications, and Morgan McSweeney, the prime minister’s chief of staff.
Prime minister Keir Starmer in response says that party officials volunteering for Harris ahead of the US presidential election on 5 November were “doing it in their spare time” rather than in their capacity working for Labour.
Susie Wiles, co-manager of Trump’s campaign, said: “In two weeks, Americans will once again reject the oppression of big government that we rejected in 1776. The flailing Harris-Walz campaign is seeking foreign influence to boost its radical message – because they know they can’t win over the American people.
