- Beyonce, Oprah, Others Fault Trump
By Abiola Olawale
United States President Donald Trump has reportedly launched a probe into former US Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump said the probe will examine claims that Harris, during her 2024 presidential campaign, allegedly made inappropriate and unethical payments to secure endorsements from high-profile celebrities, including Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, Bruce Springsteen, and others.
Trump who took to his Truth Social account, asserted that Harris’s campaign paid millions to celebrities to bolster her public image during the 2024 election cycle.
Trump declared: “Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment.
“I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter.
“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?”
However, both Beyoncé and Winfrey have denied receiving personal payments for their endorsements.
Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother, clarified that the singer covered her own expenses for a Houston rally appearance, emphasizing that no payment was received for her support.
Similarly, Winfrey stated that Harpo Productions was compensated solely for production costs, such as set design and crew, for a live-streamed town hall event with Harris.
