Former President Trump has asserted that charges should be brought against former Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as those involved in the payments made to celebrities during the 2024 election cycle.
According to Trump, Harris’ campaign allegedly paid a significant sum to a star for appearances, which he claims constitutes illegal contributions to her unsuccessful presidential campaign.
“After the presidential election, we’re taking a hard look at the money that Democrats owe,” Trump stated on social media. “These absurd fees were misrepresented in financial documents. Paying for endorsements is simply not allowed, and it’s outright illegal.”
Trump expressed his concerns further, pondering aloud about the repercussions if politicians were to start giving money to celebrities for their backing—”It would be chaos.”
Throughout the 2024 election, Harris faced scrutiny for a payment of $165,000 made to Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé’s production firm, for an event in Houston on October 26.
Beyoncé’s mother has publicly denied claims that her daughter received $11 million to speak at Harris’ rally.
Similarly, Harris’ team allocated $1 million to Winfrey’s Harpo Productions for a livestream event in Michigan. Additionally, they directed $500,000 to Al Sharpton’s National Action Network.
Trump cited various figures in his post, but it remained unclear where those numbers originated from.
“$11 million for Beyoncé to gain support—she didn’t even sing and left the stage to a disappointed crowd; $3 million for ‘costs’; $600,000 for Oprah, a low-rated TV host; and Al Sharpton, a total lightweight!”
He concluded, “They should all face prosecution! Thanks for paying attention to this matter.”
The post reached out for comments from Harris.
