President Donald Trump dropped a political bombshell over the weekend, accusing former Vice President Kamala Harris of committing serious campaign finance violations by allegedly paying millions to celebrities for public endorsements during the 2024 election.
In a no-holds-barred Truth Social post, Trump named names—Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, and Al Sharpton—claiming they were part of a coordinated effort to prop up Harris’s doomed presidential run in exchange for multi-million-dollar payouts.
“YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. All hell would break loose if Republicans tried it,” Trump wrote. “Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted.”
Alleged Payments Raise Alarms
According to Trump, Harris’s campaign shelled out:
- $11 million to Beyoncé
- $3 million to Oprah Winfrey
- $600,000 to Al Sharpton
While these numbers are shocking, Harris’s team insists the payments were for “production costs”—a claim that many conservatives aren’t buying. Campaign finance records confirm that Beyoncé’s production company, Parkwood Media, was paid $165,000 by the Harris campaign, raising eyebrows about what those funds truly covered.
Oprah tried to clear the air last fall, stating:
“The people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story.”
But critics argue it’s far from over.
Double Standards?
Trump supporters are demanding accountability, saying the media would explode if these allegations involved a Republican.
“If a conservative candidate had funneled money to celebrities like this, CNN would be foaming at the mouth,” said one GOP strategist. “But because it’s Kamala, they’re silent.”
The episode adds to a growing list of controversies surrounding Democrat campaign financing, and Trump appears ready to shine a spotlight on every one.
