Trump demands prosecution of Kamala Harris over alleged million-dollar endorsement payments

Trump accuses Kamala Harris and celebrities of illegal campaign payments, calling for legal action amid Epstein case scrutiny.

"Kamala and all of those who received Endorsement money BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted. – Donald Trump"

Washington, July 27

US President Donald Trump on Saturday (local time) demanded that Kamala Harris and several top American celebrities be prosecuted for allegedly receiving and paying millions of dollars for endorsements during the 2024 presidential election.

Trump called the move "totally illegal" and accused Democrats of breaking campaign finance laws.

In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump accused Harris of spending millions of dollars to buy endorsements from stars such as singer Beyonce, TV host Oprah Winfrey, and civil rights activist Al Sharpton. He alleged the endorsements were paid for and not genuine, and called for legal action.

"I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyonce for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!), Three Million Dollars for 'expenses,' to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV 'anchor,' Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others to be named for doing, absolutely NOTHING! These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO."

"Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out! Kamala and all of those who received Endorsement money BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted," he further added.

Trump's fresh attack comes amid controversy over his own handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case files.

Earlier, Trump slammed the investigation into the Epstein case as a politically motivated campaign. He referred to it as a "con job" by Democrats to distract from his performance, The Hill reported.

"The Radical Left Democrats are doing everything in their power to distract and obfuscate from our GREAT six months of service to America, results of which many are saying is the BEST six months in Presidential history," Trump posted on Truth Social.

He added, "They have gone absolutely CRAZY, and are playing another Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax but, this time, under the guise of what we will call the Jeffrey Epstein SCAM. Hopefully, the Grand Jury Files will put an end to this HOAX."

According to The Hill, Trump has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to work on releasing the grand jury testimonies of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The decision follows public pressure for more transparency from both parties, including members of Trump's MAGA base.

As an Indian watching US politics, I find this so similar to our election dramas! Celeb endorsements, corruption allegations...just replace Beyonce with Bollywood stars and it's the same script 😂

Honestly, if paying for endorsements is illegal in US, our Election Commission should learn from them. In India, film stars openly campaign for money and nobody bats an eyelid!

Respectfully disagree with Trump here. In India we see how paid promotions work in politics - it's unethical but calling for prosecution without solid proof is too much. Both sides should release proper accounts.

Trump is behaving like our netas before elections - making sensational claims to stay in headlines! But honestly, if Harris did pay for endorsements, that's wrong na? Hypocrisy exists in all politics, East or West.

American politics is becoming like our saas-bahu serials - full of drama and allegations! But seriously, if there's evidence of illegal payments, it should be investigated properly. We Indians know too well how celebrity endorsements can manipulate voters.
