15 checks for “Kamala Harris”

Donald Trump, Former President

“As California attorney general, (Kamala Harris) redefined child sex trafficking, assault with a deadly weapon, and rape of an unconscious person as a totally nonviolent crime.”

PolitiFact rated this: False

PolitiFact says: CA's Prop 57 allowed "nonviolent offenders" to be considered earlier for parole. It relied on existing laws to define "nonviolent." Harris didn't propose the law, but had to write ballot language as Attorney General.

Preserve America PAC, Republican super PAC

“Sen. Kamala Harris "helped raise money that got a man out of jail after he allegedly sexually penetrated a child.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Not the Whole Story

FactCheck.org says: The ad doesn’t explain that Harris was helping to raise money for protesters of racial injustice, not an accused sex offender, and it ignores that any decision to grant or deny bail is made by a judge.

Kamala Harris, U.S. Senator

“Says the Obama administration was doing pattern-or-practice investigations of discrimination by police departments and “Donald Trump came in with Jeff Sessions and undid those.”

PolitiFact rated this: Mostly True

PolitiFact says: Obama’s administration initiated at least 25 investigations into law enforcement agencies. Our review of publicly available information showed that there may have been one under Trump.
