FEC Complaint: Biden Campaign and DA Bragg Accused of Election Interference

America First Legal, a pro-Trump legal organization, announced on Wednesday that it has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and the Joe Biden presidential campaign. The complaint alleges that Bragg and the Biden campaign coordinated efforts to interfere in the 2024 presidential election.

The group posted on X, stating, “Evidence reveals Bragg’s political prosecution aimed to assist the re-election of Joe Biden.” Along with their announcement, they shared a screenshot of the official complaint and raised concerns over Bragg’s hiring of former DOJ employee Matthew Colangelo, who had previously held a senior position at the New York Attorney General’s Office. The group pointed out that Colangelo’s career move was “so abnormal” that they sued the DOJ a week ago to obtain records regarding him.

According to America First Legal, Colangelo’s prior roles and his contributions to Bragg’s campaign raise suspicions of coordinated efforts between Bragg and the Biden administration. They believe this coordination was intended to prosecute Trump and aid Biden’s re-election. Additionally, the group highlighted Attorney General Merrick Garland’s refusal to commit to providing communications between the DOJ and Bragg’s office during a congressional hearing. The group claims that the Biden campaign’s directive to prosecute Trump constitutes a coordinated expenditure that should have been reported under the Federal Election Campaign Act.
