Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds
According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law.

Bitcoin is changing the world. With change comes uncertainty and, for many, anxiety. It is natural to wonder what the future will look like, and also to worry about whether this change will be for the better or the worse.
