The Trump campaign filed an Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint against the UK’s Labour Party, accusing it of “blatant foreign interference” in the US election. Members of the party are campaigning for the Harris-Walz campaign, according to many reports.
The BBC says that the “Labour activists campaigning in the US presidential election are doing so in a personal capacity.” Does that make it okay? FEC rules allow foreign nationals to serve as campaign volunteers as long as they are not compensated. But a Labour campaigner offered volunteer trips to the U.S. to “help our friends across the pond elect the first female president” and to “show those Yanks how to win elections!”
In 2016, the Australian Labor Party was fined for doing something similar for the Bernie Sanders campaign.
The campaign is asking the FEC to open an investigation into this matter.
