The Washington Post office in Washington, DC, US, on Thursday, June 27, 2024.
The Republican's campaign on Thursday filed a Federal Election Commission complaint accusing The Washington Post of making "Illegal Corporate In-Kind Contributions" to Harris.
"There is no evidence in the allegations of any coordination between the Post and the Harris campaign," said Briffault, who specializes in campaign finance regulation and political law.
A spokesperson for the newspaper told CNBC, in a statement Friday, "As part of The Washington Post's regular social media marketing strategy, promoted posts across social media platforms reflect high-performing content across all verticals and subjects."
Trump has repeatedly claimed on social media and at campaign rallies that the editorial move constitutes the "biggest media scandal in broadcast history."
