“These ridiculous costs have been incorrectly stated in books and files. You are not allowed to pay approval. It is completely illegal to do so. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians were starting to pay so that people approve them.
“All hell would burst! Kamala, and all those who have received approval money, have violated the law. They should all be prosecuted!”

What happens next
The White House has not yet confirmed if it will continue a legal action against the Democrats or the Harris campaign.
