Trump doubles down on claims Harris paid for endorsements, says she should be ‘prosecuted’

  • President Donald Trump called for the prosecution of Kamala Harris and celebrities like Beyoncé for allegedly illegal payments during the 2024 campaign.
  • Trump repeated claims that paying for endorsements is totally illegal and alleged the Harris campaign misrepresented payments in spending records.
  • Federal campaign finance documents indicate that Harris’s team paid $165,000 to Beyoncé’s production company for event-related expenses, a figure much lower than Trump’s disputed claim of $11 million.
  • Beyoncé and Oprah denied receiving endorsement payments, saying funds covered production costs, while independent fact-checks found no evidence supporting the $10–11 million claims.
  • Trump’s calls for prosecution and a major investigation signal ongoing disputes over campaign spending, yet no federal authority has confirmed wrongdoing or illegal payments.
