Trump's Wild Claim [View all]

Trump claimed in a social media post that Beyoncé broke the law by supposedly getting paid $11 million for her endorsement of Kamala Harris for President.

There is no basis for Trump’s claim that Beyoncé received an $11 million payment, let alone for the endorsement in particular.

Federal campaign spending records show a $165,000 payment from the Harris campaign to Beyoncé’s production company, which the campaign listed as a “campaign event production” expense.

A Harris campaign spokesperson said they didn’t pay celebrity endorsers, but were required by law to cover the costs of their appearances. Nobody has ever produced any evidence for the claim of an eight-figure endorsement.

As usual, Trump just makes s**t up to distract everyone from his latest screw up or scandal .
