President trump is accusing former vice president Kamala Harris of breaking the law by buying some high profile celebrity endorsements.
The president posted that he’s looking at what the 2024 Harris presidential campaign paid for the support of Beyonce, Oprah Winfrey and others.
On Truth Social, Trump wrote “they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT.”
He goes on to say “These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records.”
Beyonce Knowles put in an appearance with Harris during a rally in Houston.
Oprah Winfrey appeared with Harris in a rally and in a town hall style interview. She has denied being paid for an endorsement but the Harris campaign reportedly paid $1 million to her company about two weeks before last year’s election.
Likewise the campaign denied paying Beyonce for her endorsement although Federal Election Commission records show her campaign paid her company $165,000.
Making generous use of all caps, the president posted “YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT,” and he added “IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out!”
