Trump Demands Prosecution Beyoncé Over Unverified $11M Endorsement Allegations

President Donald Trump has repeatedly accused Beyoncé of illegally accepting an $11 million payment to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential campaign, demanding legal action against her and other celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and Al Sharpton. Trump claims that paying for endorsements is illegal and alleges the Democrats broke the law by making these payments, despite no credible evidence or official records supporting the $11 million figure. Federal campaign spending documents show only about $165,000 paid to Beyoncé’s production company for event production costs, not direct endorsement fees. Beyoncé’s mother and campaign representatives have publicly denied the allegations, emphasizing that Beyoncé did not receive any payment for her political support. Fact-checking organizations and campaign finance experts confirm there is no legal prohibition on paying for endorsements and no proof that such payments were made. Despite these denials and lack of evidence, Trump continues to assert these claims on social media, intensifying political controversy around the issue.
