U.S. President Donald Trump has made serious allegations against current Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of illegally paying celebrities during the 2024 election campaign. He claims this violated federal election laws.
According to Trump, Harris paid millions of dollars to popular figures such as singer Beyoncé, television host Oprah Winfrey, and civil rights activist Al Sharpton to publicly support her. He says these payments were illegal and demand investigation.
Posting on his social media platform "Truth Social," Trump wrote that politicians should not be allowed to buy celebrity endorsements. He warned that such practices could undermine the fairness of democratic elections.
Trump argued that if politicians start paying supporters for public backing, it sets a dangerous precedent. He insisted that Harris and all involved celebrities broke the law and must face legal consequences for their actions.
The accusations come shortly after Trump targeted former President Barack Obama. He had earlier claimed that Obama interfered in the electoral process and should be held accountable under the law.
Trump's social media post about Obama included a controversial video. The video blended real footage with artificial intelligence-generated clips showing Obama being arrested by FBI agents at the White House. Trump was seen smiling in the scene.
The video concluded with a fictional scene showing Obama in prison clothing, standing behind bars. Though the video was not real, it sent a strong political message that Trump believes no one is above the law.
The recent attack on Harris follows Trump’s long-standing narrative that Democratic leaders have used unethical or illegal means to gain power. These claims continue to dominate his messaging as the 2024 election approaches.
Earlier, Tulsi Gabbard, a former congresswoman and intelligence officer, backed Trump’s claims. She alleged that officials close to Obama created a false Russia-collusion narrative after the 2016 election to discredit Trump’s presidency.
Gabbard claimed there is substantial evidence to support her accusations and said those responsible during the Obama administration should be brought to justice. She also demanded accountability from former high-ranking officials.
Trump’s accusations against Harris aim to energize his base and shift public attention toward Democratic figures. However, so far, there has been no official confirmation or legal action based on these claims.
Legal experts have said that for a case to proceed, authorities would need direct proof showing the payments were linked to specific campaign outcomes. Mere celebrity support alone may not be enough to prove wrongdoing.
Harris and her team have not publicly responded to the accusations. Many political observers see this as another example of Trump’s strategy to stay in the spotlight and frame the political conversation.
Despite the controversy, Trump continues to maintain strong influence over a significant portion of Republican voters. His posts often spark widespread debate and dominate headlines across social media and news platforms.
As the U.S. prepares for another heated presidential election cycle, such allegations are likely to intensify. Trump’s campaign seems focused on questioning the integrity of his opponents while portraying himself as a victim of political conspiracies.
The coming weeks may bring further responses from political leaders, legal analysts, or perhaps even federal investigators. Until then, Trump’s latest accusations add more fire to an already polarized political climate.
