Kamala Harris Faces Plagiarism Allegations Over Book

Vice President Kamala Harris is facing serious allegations of plagiarism in her 2009 book, 'Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor's Plan to Make Us Safer.' An investigation by plagiarism expert Dr. Stefan Weber and journalist Christopher Rufo claims that Harris copied content from various sources, including Wikipedia, without proper attribution. Rufo noted multiple instances of direct copying, including passages from a John Jay College press release and an NBC News report. Senator JD Vance criticized Harris on social media, asserting that she did not author her book independently and highlighting the implications of these allegations on her credibility. Harris co-authored the book with Joan O’C. Hamilton, who expressed surprise at the claims. The discourse around these allegations has ignited debates on transparency and integrity in political figures.
