President Donald Trump charged pop sensation Beyonc\u00e9 and other celebrities with unlawfully accepting millions of dollars to support Kamala Harris\u2019 presidential campaign in a scathing Truth Social post. He asserted that Beyonc\u00e9 received approximately $11 million to make a fleeting appearance at a rally, support Harris, and then leave without performing, which caused the crowd to jeer.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Trump claimed that Rev. Al Sharpton received \\$600,000 and Oprah Winfrey received \\$3 million for publicly endorsing Harris. Trump wrote, \u201cThey were paid to do nothing at all.\u201d \u201cPaying for an endorsement is not permitted. It\u2019s completely illegal.<\/p>\n
Newsweek and other outlets have reported the president\u2019s claims as unsubstantiated, and he provided no evidence to support them. He demanded criminal prosecution and claimed the payments were misreported in campaign filings.<\/p>\n
These charges have been refuted by Kamala Harris\u2019 campaign. A spokesperson denied the rumor that Beyonc\u00e9 received ~$10 million, which went viral on the internet following her appearance at a rally in October 2024. Beyonc\u00e9 said at the event: \u201cI\u2019m not here as a celebrity. As a mother who genuinely cares about our future, I am here.<\/p>\n
Records from the Federal Election Commission do not indicate that Beyonc\u00e9 was paid approximately $11 million. However, her media company, Parkwood Entertainment, received a payment of approximately $165,000. Additionally, it was reported that Oprah\u2019s Harpo Productions received ~$1 million and Sharpton\u2019s National Action Network received \\$500,000 for planning a livestreamed campaign event in Michigan.<\/p>\n
The White House has not yet disclosed any legal action or investigation into the claims.<\/p>\n
Although Trump\u2019s post has sparked political controversy, neither Harris nor the other celebrities have been accused of any wrongdoing by any official agency. The accusations have not yet been proven, and the president\u2019s most dramatic claims are contradicted by the campaign finance records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
