Trump doubles down on claims Harris paid for endorsements, says she should be ‘prosecuted’
UNITED STATES, JUL 27 – President Trump renewed claims that Kamala Harris's campaign paid millions to celebrities for endorsements, a claim denied by the campaign and unsupported by Federal Election Commission rules.
- President Donald Trump doubled down on claims that Kamala Harris's 2024 campaign paid celebrities for endorsements and called for their prosecution on July 26.
- Trump's allegations follow earlier statements and a May call for a major investigation into supposed illegal payments to endorsers like Beyoncé and Bruce Springsteen.
- Federal campaign finance documents indicate the Harris campaign paid $165,000 to Beyoncé’s production company for event-related expenses, an amount much smaller than the $11 million figure claimed by Trump.
- Trump claimed that the payments reported by the Harris campaign to certain endorsers were inaccurately recorded in the financial documents and insisted that compensating individuals for endorsements is completely illegal, despite no legal evidence supporting these assertions.
- Democratic officials and fact-checkers have rejected Trump's claims as false, and the payments were determined to cover event expenses, suggesting no legal wrongdoing by Harris's campaign.
