Trump Demands DOJ Probe Into Kamala’s Celebrity Endorsement Payments [WATCH]

President Donald Trump is calling for a federal investigation into alleged illegal payments made by Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign to several high-profile celebrities, including Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, and Bono.

Trump alleges that these payments were made under the pretense of “entertainment services” but were in fact disguised campaign endorsements—potentially violating federal election laws, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote:

Trump’s Sovereign Wealth Fund: What Could It Mean For Your Money?

“HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT? WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? …AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO???
I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment.”

Trump’s demand for a Department of Justice probe comes amid scrutiny over how Harris’s campaign spent its funds. According to The Washington Examiner, Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions was paid $1 million in October for “campaign-related services.”

Winfrey later hosted a town hall event and spoke at a campaign rally in Philadelphia.

Bruce Springsteen performed at a Harris rally in Clarkston, Georgia, where he referred to Trump as “corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous.” Trump has questioned whether Springsteen’s appearance constituted a political endorsement masked as a concert performance.

Similarly, Beyoncé was announced as a performer at a Harris rally in Houston. However, she did not perform and instead made a brief appearance before leaving.

“Beyoncé went up and spoke for a couple of minutes and then left, and the place went crazy,” Trump told a crowd in Michigan. “They booed the hell out of everybody… We don’t send buses. Everybody comes. We’re just going to make America great again.”

The Washington Free Beacon reported that Harris’s campaign sent $500,000 to Al Sharpton’s nonprofit, the National Action Network, weeks before she appeared on his MSNBC show.

Federal filings show two $250,000 payments in September and October. Shortly after, Sharpton aired a birthday message from Harris praising his “extraordinary leadership.”

Trump further stated: “Are the Democrats allowed to pay $11,000,000, $2,000,000, and $500,000 to get the ENDORSEMENT of Beyoncé, Oprah, and Reverend Al? I don’t think so! Beyoncé didn’t sing, Oprah didn’t do much of anything (she called it ‘expenses’), and Al is just a third rate Con Man.”
