Trump Accuses Harris, Celebrities of Illegal Payments

President Donald Trump has accused former Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party of illegally paying millions to celebrities—including Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, and Al Sharpton—for endorsements during the 2024 presidential election, and has called for prosecution of Harris and the celebrities involved. He alleges payments of $11 million to Beyoncé, $3 million to Oprah, and $600,000 to Sharpton, although some of these figures are disputed and the sources remain unclear. Trump claims these actions violate campaign finance laws and says the payments were misrepresented in official records. These accusations come as Trump faces criticism over the release of Jeffrey Epstein case files, which he has dismissed as politically motivated distractions. The debate has reignited questions about the legality and ethics of celebrity endorsements in political campaigns. The Harris campaign and the celebrities have not immediately commented on the allegations.
