The Donald Trump legal bids against CBS and the Washington Post came days before the election between the GOP nominee and his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris.
Former President Donald Trump and his campaign have launched legal actions against CBS News and the Washington Post.
The FEC complaint alleges that Semafor's report indicates that the Post"is conducting a dark money corporate campaign in opposition to President Donald J. Trump.""There is no evidence in the allegations of any coordination between the Post and the Harris campaign," said Briffault, who specializes in campaign finance regulation and political law.
"And as the Trump letter acknowledges there is no express advocacy of Harris so the Post's actions don't count as independent expenditures," Briffault added.A spokesperson for the newspaper told CNBC, in a statement Friday,"As part of The Washington Post's regular social media marketing strategy, promoted posts across social media platforms reflect high-performing content across all verticals and subjects.
Also on Thursday, Trump filed a federal civil lawsuit against CBS Broadcasting, seeking $10 billion in damages over the network's editing of a"60 Minutes" interview with Harris that aired in early October.
