Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has filed a complaint with the election commission, accusing the UK’s Labour Party of making illegal foreign campaign contributions and interfering in the 2024 presidential elections after its volunteers allegedly traveled to the United States to help campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to the reports, various senior members of the Labour Party met with members of the Harris campaign in recent weeks.
The Trump campaign described the visits as “strategic meetings.”
The complaint also cites a now deleted LinkedIn post from Sofia Patel, head of operations at the Labour party, who wrote that “nearly 100” current and former Labour party staff would be travelling to the US in the coming weeks to help elect Harris, the Democratic vice-president.
“[We] will sort out your housing,” the post added.
Under federal law, foreign nationals are prohibited from “directly or indirectly” making “contributions, donations, expenditures (including independent expenditures) and disbursements … in connection with any federal, state, or local election.”
The term “foreign national” is described in the law as an individual who is not a citizen of the United States and does not have lawful permanent residence, or a foreign principal such as a “foreign government or political party.”
Trump’s lawyers argue such support amounts to “contributions” from foreign actors, in violation of US campaign finance laws.
The Trump campaign says that, “the limited number of ’spots’ supports a reasonable inference that the Labour Party is financially supporting this effort.
After all, if individuals were being asked to volunteer on their own and sort out their own housing, there would be no reason to cap the number of remaining ’spots.’”
