WASHINGTON, D.C. – America First Legal (AFL), a conservative legal organization, has officially lodged a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against New York County District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr. and Joe Biden’s principal campaign committee, Biden for President. The complaint alleges violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act.

The case stems from an incident in December 2022 when Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg reportedly hired Matthew B. Colangelo to spearhead an investigation into former President Donald Trump. Critics argue that Colangelo’s appointment reeks of partisanship, given his history of targeting Trump and his family business.

Colangelo had previously held senior positions in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the New York Attorney General’s Office, both of which were involved in investigations related to Trump. Notably, Colangelo had contributed to Bragg’s campaign for district attorney before joining the Biden DOJ.

According to available information, the prosecution of hush money payments by Bragg’s office appears to have been coordinated with Joe Biden’s regime. AFL asserts that this coordination was carried out with the intention of influencing the 2024 presidential election.

During a congressional hearing, Attorney General Merrick Garland declined to commit to disclosing communications between the DOJ and Bragg’s office, without denying their existence. This lack of transparency, coupled with Colangelo’s involvement and the Biden campaign’s response after the trial and conviction, suggests that Bragg’s prosecution was politically motivated to harm Trump’s candidacy in 2024.

Based on the available information, AFL argues that Bragg’s prosecution, carried out in coordination with Biden, constitutes a “coordinated expenditure” under the Federal Election Campaign Act. Thus, it represents an in-kind contribution by Bragg to Biden and the Biden campaign, exceeding the permissible individual contribution limit of $3,300 per election.

The complaint contends that the Biden campaign violated its disclosure obligations under the Act by failing to publicly report necessary contribution information regarding the Bragg prosecution as a coordinated expenditure. Such expenditures must be reported as both a contribution received and an expenditure made by the candidate’s authorized committees involved in the coordination.

America First Legal Vice President Dan Epstein issued a statement regarding the complaint, expressing concerns about potential coordination between President Biden and Bragg. Epstein emphasized the need for the FEC to carefully examine the relationship between Biden, his regime, and the New York County DA’s Office, particularly in light of the ongoing legal battles targeting former President Trump.

As the FEC reviews the complaint, it remains to be seen how this will impact the narrative surrounding the alleged coordination and potential election violations involving Bragg, Biden, and their respective campaigns.
