The Robert F. Kennedy Jr. campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission claiming that CNN, President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump and their election committees colluded to exclude Kennedy from a planned June 27 televised debate.
Debates hosted by the Commission on Presidential Debates typically are staged in September and October, hence CNN's debate scheduled this month is legally problematic, according to Kennedy's team.The complaint claims that CNN's rules are 'a poorly constructed pretext because Biden and Trump do not and will not qualify under these terms.
