Donald Trump filed an FEC complaint against the Washington Post for promoting its own reporting.

The complaint claims that the WaPo ’s decision to run ads promoting its reporting was “illegal corporate in-kind contributions” to Kamala Harris ’ campaign.

The Washington Post recently announced it would not endorse a presidential candidate, a decision the Post 's owner defended on the basis that “Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election”.
