Donald Trump’s campaign has accused Britain’s governing party of “blatant foreign interference” in the US presidential election over a trip by its activists to help Vice President Kamala Harris’ bid, igniting a spat with one of Washington’s closest allies in the final stretches of the race.
A lawyer for the former president filed a complaint on Tuesday to the Federal Election Commission against both the UK’s Labour Party and the Harris campaign, after a Labour staffer wrote a LinkedIn post advertising a trip to the US on which “nearly 100 Labour Party staff” members would campaign for Harris in four key swing states. Under FEC rules, foreign nationals are allowed to campaign for a US electoral candidate, but only “as an uncompensated volunteer.
” The Trump campaign’s complaint stems from a since-deleted LinkedIn post in which Sofia Patel, a Labour head of operations, wrote: “I have nearly 100 Labour Party staff going to the US in the next few weeks heading to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia,” four states that could decide the upcoming election. “I have 10 spots available for anyone available to head to the battleground state of North Carolina – we will sort your housing,” Patel’s post added.
