Plagiarism scandal rocks Kamala Harris campaign

Kamala Harris is accused of plagiarism in her 2009 book, Smart on Crime, by conservative activist Christopher Rufo, who claims that Harris lifted content from sources like Wikipedia without proper citation. Harris refutes these allegations, calling them politically motivated attacks. A review acknowledged minor citation issues but not intentional plagiarism. Rufo’s accusations have drawn notable attention, but Harris maintains that her book included necessary citations, dismissing the claims as attempts to undermine her growing bipartisan support.
