Trump Accuses Democrats of Illegally Paying $11M, $2M, $500K to Beyoncé, Oprah, Sharpton for Harris Endorsements
Dec 28, 2024, 02:44 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has accused the Democrats of illegally paying for celebrity endorsements during Kamala Harris's presidential campaign. He specifically mentioned payments of $11 million to Beyoncé, $2 million to Oprah Winfrey, and $500,000 to Reverend Al Sharpton, questioning the legality of such transactions. Trump criticized the actions, stating that Beyoncé did not perform, Oprah did little, and referred to Sharpton as a 'third rate Con Man.' Trump's comments suggest that these payments were made to secure endorsements, which he believes to be against the law.
