President Trump demanded that former Vice President Kamala Harris be prosecuted along with Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey and Al Sharpton — for fees that were paid to the stars during the 2024 election.
Trump claimed that the stars were paid millions of dollars by Harris’ campaign for appearances — and that the money amounted to illegal payments to endorse Harris’ failed presidential bid.
“I’m looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election,” Trump began on Truth Social Saturday. “These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. 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.”
During the 2024 cycle, Harris’ campaign drew criticism over $165,000 payments to Beyonce’s production company, Parkwood Entertainment, for an Oct. 26 Houston rally.
Winfrey’s production company, Harpo Productions, was paid $1 million for a live stream event she helped organize in Michigan. Harris’ team also sent $500,000 to Sharpton’s National Action Network.
Trump cited different numbers in his Truth Social post. It was not immediately clear where they came from.
All three celebs have backed Democratic candidates in the past.
“Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!), Three Million Dollars for ‘expenses,’ to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV ‘anchor,’ Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others.”

Wow! How did this become an anti-Trump thread?
Now Kamala is reduced to some guy with a panda head on introducing her. Not kidding
“I want to see Trump’s 2 impeachments expunged along with all of his lawsuits.”
No process available.
Agree, in a way. But by being the lightning rod, Trump can actually benefit. Attacking his supporting cast doesn’t expose the utterly ignorant reasons for the attacks on Trump.
IMHO
I’m sure paying for endorsements isn’t something new.
If it’s illegal there should be precedence in the lawbooks, one way or the other
From what I read, it is not illegal to pay someone to endorse a federal candidate
But the candidates election team has to disclose that the payments were made, who they were paid to, and why.
Also, the endorser has to reveal that the endorsement is a paid endorsement.
So if that was not done by Harris campaign or the endorsers, it would be illegal.
IMHO, FYI
Good summation of the whole rootin-tootin’ she-bang.
You don’t agree with Trump on this?
That is why that low IQ drunkard wasted about $1,000,000,000 in around 3-4 months.
I wonder how much she pocketed?
There were many more besides Beyoncé and Oprah.
Ben Stiller, please pick up the courtesy phone. /spit
I’m with Trump on this.
Make examples of these rich liberals who break campaign finance laws with impunity.
Everyone thinks they should be Trump’s director
“Harris’ team also sent $500,000 to Sharpton’s National Action Network.”
Well, at least THAT was money well spent! LOL! *SMIRK*
Who the heck would give that GRIFTER money in this day and age?!?!?
Oh...dummy Socialist Democrats, that’s who!
Well they kinda were when he was sworn in as 47
enough to switch from boxed wine to bottled wine
Surrogate - surrogates. I agree 100% when you make controversial statements you should have surrogus make the statement for you. My question is, where is your surrogate? Aha... You is you and he is him.
I’m still stuck on the president being the Chief Law Enforcement officer in the nation. I have never heard that.
“We don’t want someone who’s “polished” like Mitt Romney.”
I remember around 20 years ago many here were bitching because GW Bush and Karl Rove wouldn’t fight back. Finally, we get someone to fight back, and people whine about it.
