Legal experts question Harris' backing from donors with government ties
Fox News
Legal experts questioned the judgement of Kamala Harris and her campaign, which has received substantial support from people and entities with business in front of the federal government.
One significant supporter of Harris' campaign includes Chris Larsen, angel investor and co-founder of cryptocurrency firm Ripple Labs. Larsen, who has given Harris' campaign committees nearly $12 million, is currently in a protracted legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission over whether its cryptocurrency, XRP, should be classified as "securities." Meanwhile, $1 million of Larsen's money to the Harris campaign was made in the form of his XRP cryptocurrency.
These are among the handful of examples that elucidate potential conflicts of interest that legal experts say don't necessarily amount to anything illegal, but do raise questions about Harris' judgment.
