In his post, Trump stated that the Harris campaign may have paid $11 million to Beyoncé for an endorsement, along with an additional $3 million listed as “expenses.” He suggested this could be a violation of campaign finance laws, asserting: “It is completely illegal to pay for an endorsement.”
He also pointed to similar alleged payments to other public figures, including Oprah Winfrey and Al Sharpton, questioning the legitimacy of those expenses and whether they were properly reported.
“These fees were inaccurately recorded in the financial statements,” Trump claimed. “If politicians began paying individuals for endorsements, all hell would break loose!”
He concluded by saying that if any laws were broken, those involved should be held accountable.
At this time, no formal charges or investigations have been announced related to the financial conduct of the Harris campaign. Campaign finance experts note that political campaigns are subject to strict reporting requirements and that all expenditures must be reviewed in accordance with Federal Election Commission (FEC) guidelines.
As the post-election period continues, it remains to be seen whether any official inquiries will follow these claims.
