A member of Vice President Kamala Harris’ national finance committee has raised questions about potential collusion between former President Donald Trump and foreign governments to boost his election prospects. Lindy Li, a DNC National Finance Committee member, has posted on social media speculating about coordination between Trump and leaders from Israel, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.
Li, a Philadelphia-area Democratic activist, denied being a conspiracy theorist and stated that she is simply asking questions based on media reports and Trump's past actions. She referenced Trump's admission of speaking with Putin and reports of conversations with other foreign leaders.
Li highlighted Trump's history of leveraging issues for political gain, such as scuttling a bipartisan immigration bill to keep illegal immigration a prominent campaign issue. She suggested that Trump may be using similar tactics in international affairs to improve his chances of winning re-election.
Li's posts came amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, with Hamas terrorists killing hostages in Israel and protests erupting over the government's response. Netanyahu's refusal to agree to a cease-fire has drawn criticism, with Li drawing parallels to historical instances where leaders delayed actions for electoral advantage.
Li also referenced media pundits and op-eds that have explored similar theories about Trump's potential collaboration with foreign leaders. The ongoing conflict in Israel has put pressure on the Biden-Harris administration to secure a cease-fire, with Trump criticizing Harris's foreign policy approach.
Trump has claimed that under his leadership, international crises like the wars in Israel and Ukraine would not have occurred. He has accused the current administration of contributing to global instability and has vowed to resolve conflicts if re-elected.
Li's questioning of Trump's interactions with foreign governments reflects broader concerns about political motivations influencing international affairs and electoral outcomes.
