Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for President, stands accused of plagiarising entire passages from multiple sources, including Wikipedia, in her book on crime.

Smart on Crime, a book published by Harris as a former prosecutor in 2009 and republished in 2022 in honor of her vice presidency, is alleged to contain multiple cases in which multiple passages were copied wholesale from other sources, without any attribution.

Plagiarism investigator Dr. Stefan Weber, an Austrian who specializes in exposing plagiarism in the German speaking world, exposed these violations in Harris' book. Conservative activist Chistopher Rufo says that his people independently confirmed many of the allegations (see tweet below).

Scandals such as these have already caused major scandals at top American universities, including former Harvard University President Claudine Gay and many others.
