Trump will ask for possible Harris payments to celebrities such as Beyoncé or Springsteen to receive support
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said Monday that he will ask for “a great investigation” about possible payments by the candidate of the White House Democratic Party in the 2024 elections, Kamala Harris, to various celebrities who supported his campaign. “The candidates cannot pay for backups, which is what Kamala did, under the coverage of paying for entertainment. In addition, this was something very expensive and a desperate attempt to artificially reinforce their low influx of public,” he said in his account in the social network Truth Social.
“It is not legal. For these antipatriotic artists, it was simply a corrupt and illegal way to take advantage of a broken system,” he said, before charging again against singer Bruce Springsteen for his recent criticisms against US president during a concert in London.

Thus, he asked “how much Kamala Harris paid to Bruce Springsteen for her poor performance during her campaign to President.” “Why did you accept that money if you are so fan of you? Isn’t it a large and illegal contribution to the campaign? What about Beyoncé? When did money and Bono go to Oprah and Bono?” He questioned the president.

Winfrey argued in November 2024 that the payment of one million dollars (about 890,000 euros) by Harris’s campaign was delivered to its producer to cover the costs of an interview organized during the campaign, denying that they were delivered as payment to go to an act of the then vice president.

For her part, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, also denied in November that the singer had received ten million dollars (about 8.9 million euros) to appear in a campaign act, some accusations also spotted against other singers and artists who participated in the events organized by the Democrat during her candidacy.
