Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris faces renewed plagiarism accusations involving congressional testimony and her 2009 book, 'Smart on Crime'. Reports from the Washington Free Beacon and others allege Harris copied roughly 80% of her 2007 congressional testimony from Republican attorney Paul Logli, with side-by-side comparisons revealing the extensive similarities. Additionally, Harris is accused of misrepresenting a fictional story about a sex-trafficking victim from the Polaris Project and copying material from Wikipedia. Her campaign has dismissed these allegations as politically motivated attacks, emphasizing her use of citations in the book. These allegations come amid comparisons to past plagiarism scandals involving other politicians, potentially undermining her campaign two weeks before the election.
