Trump Accuses UK Labour Party of Election Interference

Good morning. Trump accuses the UK Labour Party of election interference. A severe E. coli outbreak tied to McDonald’s sickens dozens in the US and kills one. And the EU is urged to create a spy agency. Listen to the day’s top stories.

Donald Trump accused the UK’s Labour Party of illegal foreign campaign contributions and election interference in a filing with the Federal Election Commission. The complaint points to reports that Labour Party strategists met with Kamala Harris’ team, as well as plans for staff members to travel to battleground states to campaign on the vice president’s behalf. UK PM Keir Starmer said that the legal complaint won’t jeopardize his relationship with the former president. Interference has been a hot-button topic lately, with some questioning the legality of Elon Musk’s $1 million a day giveaway as well as intelligence reports indicating Russia and Iran will seek to foment violent protests in the US after the vote.

A severe E. coli outbreak tied to Quarter Pounders from McDonald’s sickened dozens of people in the US, mainly in Colorado and Nebraska, and killed one. Investigators are focusing on slivered onions and fresh beef patties as the probable source of the bacteria. Shares of the fast-food chain plunged in postmarket trading.
