Harris’s dark secrets are finally coming to light. The president is going to hold her accountable for them.
And Trump demands an investigation into Kamala Harris for this disturbing act.
Trump Calls for Probe into Kamala Harris’ Star-Studded Campaign, Alleges Illegal Payments to A-List Celebrities
President Donald Trump has ignited a firestorm of controversy, calling for a sweeping investigation into former Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign.
The president accuses Harris, who fell short in her bid for the White House, of violating campaign finance laws by allegedly funneling payments to global music and entertainment icons for performances and endorsements at her rallies.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump took aim at Harris’ glitzy campaign events, which featured a parade of high-wattage stars like Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, and U2’s Bono.
“HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT?” Trump said. “WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? …AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO???”
Trump vowed to launch “a major investigation into this matter,” branding Harris’ tactics as “a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system.” The accusations come after Harris’ campaign leaned heavily on celebrity star power to energize voters in the lead-up to the November 2024 election.

Her events boasted performances from Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera, Ricky Martin, Megan Thee Stallion, Jon Bon Jovi, 2 Chainz, Mumford & Sons, and Springsteen, who joined former President Barack Obama at a rally at Temple University in October.
Other heavyweights like Arnold Schwarzenegger, LeBron James, George Clooney, and Taylor Swift also publicly backed Harris after she entered the race in July, following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal.
However, not all appearances went as planned. Beyoncé’s much-hyped appearance alongside Harris in Houston drew backlash when the superstar didn’t perform, leaving fans frustrated.

Trump seized on these moments, claiming the celebrity-driven strategy was a “very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT’S NOT LEGAL!” He doubled down, accusing the performers of being “unpatriotic ‘entertainers’” who exploited a flawed system for profit.
Post-election scrutiny intensified when reports surfaced that Harris’ campaign paid $1 million to Oprah Winfrey’s production company, fueling speculation about payments to other celebrities. The Harris campaign has firmly denied these claims.
Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules mandate that campaigns pay fair market value for ancillary costs tied to performances, such as salaries for band members or production staff. However, an FEC spokesperson clarified to VerifyThis.com in October that no law explicitly prohibits paying for political endorsements.
Despite the star-studded push, Harris’ campaign failed to sway voters, and Trump secured a decisive victory, reclaiming the presidency.
Now, with his latest allegations, Trump aims to cast a spotlight on what he sees as a scandal-ridden campaign, setting the stage for a high-stakes investigation that could ripple through the political and entertainment worlds.
