A new report finds that Kamala Harris plagiarized large sections of a congressional testimony back in 2007.

I'm Virginia Allen and this is the Daily Signal Top News for Tuesday, October 22nd. Earlier this month the Washington Free Beacon reported that Kamala Harris

had plagiarized portions of her book now the Beacon has discovered

that Harris appears to have plagiarized large sections of a congressional testimony back in 2007.

So in 2007, Harris was serving as the District attorney of San Francisco in April of that year

she testified before the House Judiciary Committee in support of a bill.

The bill was called the John R Justice Prosecutors and Defenders

Incentive Act of 2007.

It ultimately didn't pass, but if it had,

the bill would have created a student loan repayment program for state and local prosecutors.

That's according to the beacon. Harris argued in her testimony that the loan forgiveness program

would encourage young attorneys to enter the field of public service.

But her word choice was strikingly similar to another testimony that was given two months prior

in support of the bill. The Beacon found that virtually her entire

testimony about the bill was taken from another district attorney.

Winnebago County Illinois District Attorney Paul Logley had testified in support of the legislation

two months earlier before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

In total, 80% of what Harris had to say about the John Our Justice Act was

taken verbatim from Logley submitted testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee in February of 2007.

The Harris campaign did not respond to the Beacon's request for comment.

If you want to see the side-by-side images of Harris and Logley's testimony, you can check out the Washington Free Beacon story that's linked in today's show notes.
