Trump blasts 'illegal' Beyoncé payout as he accuses Democrats of covering up celebrity bribes
President Donald Trump has suggested he would prosecute Democrats for paying celebrities like Oprah and Beyoncé - claiming they were illegally bribing the A-listers to endorse then-Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. The president took to his Truth Social page Saturday night to lament what he called the 'probably illegal' payments the Democratic campaign made to celebrities. Among those he accused of accepting the lucrative payments was Beyoncé, who he said accepted $11 million from the Kamala Harris campaign before she gave a short speech at a campaign rally in Houston, Texas. Trump also claimed that Oprah took $3 million in 'expenses' from the Democrats and 'very low-rated TV "anchor"' Al Sharpton received $600,000 from the Harris campaign. 'These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records,' he said, months after he demanded a 'major investigation' into the former vice president's campaign expenditures. 'YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO,' Trump argued. 'Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying people to endorse them? All hell would break out!' 'Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW,' the president continued. 'They should all be prosecuted!' He claimed on his Truth Social platform the Democrats were illegally bribing the A-listers to endorse then Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election Trump has made similar claims in the past, writing in December that 'Beyoncé didn't sing, Oprah didn't do much of anything (she called it "expenses") and Al is just a third-rate conman.' But the Harris campaign repeatedly denied that it had engaged in any wrongdoing, with Adrienne Elrod, who served as a senior spokesperson for the campaign, insisting it never paid anyone for their endorsements or campaign activity. 'We have never paid any artist and performer. We have never paid a fee to that person,' he told Deadline in November. Oprah also hit out at the claims, arguing that she did not get 'one dime' from the campaign. Instead, she said, the Harris campaign simply reimbursed her production company, Harpo Productions, for organizing a town hall event. '[M]y production company Harpo was asked to bring in set design, lights, cameras, microphones, crew, producers, and every other item necessary (including the benches and chairs we sat on) to put on a live production,' she wrote. 'I did not take any personal fee,' she said. 'However the people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story.' Still, the Chicago Tribune blasted the billionaire former talk show host over her decision to allow her company to accept the payment - suggesting Winfrey should have paid her workers' fees herself. 'Frankly, $1 million is not all that much to Winfrey and so we very much doubt that she was seeking any kind of personal payday from her chosen candidate,' the editorial board wrote in a column. 'But she does own Harpo and serves as its chairwoman and CEO. The production fees should have been a campaign donation.' Meanwhile, MSNBC's Al Sharpton also came under fire when it was revealed his National Action Network had accepted $500,000 from the Harris campaign ahead of a sit-down interview with the then-vice president. Billionaire hedge fund manager and Trump supporter Bill Ackman led the charge, telling Megyn Kelly on her show that the payments were an attempt 'to manipulate the audience.' Then on October 20, Sharpton praised Harris' 'extraordinary historic campaign' in a gushing interview, as he branded Donald Trump 'hostile and erratic.' As the controversy continued, a spokesman for MSNBC said it was 'unaware' of the Harris campaign's donations to National Action Network. 'MSNBC was unaware of the donations made to the National Action Network,' the spokesman told the Free Beacon as he declined to share whether the network would take any actions against the reverend. He said that the company does not comment on 'personnel matters.' It remains unclear where President Trump got the $11 million figure for Beyoncé, but Federal Election Commission records show the Harris campaign did pay her production company, Parkwood Production Media LLC $165,000. Such reimbursements are frequently associated with large event productions and cannot be donated to political campaigns, according to The Hill.

Julie Chrisley responds to shock claim she FAKED a breast cancer diagnosis before prison
Julie Chrisley slammed claims that she faked her breast cancer diagnosis in the past. During Wednesday's episode of their family podcast, the reality TV personality, 52, addressed the 'crazy' accusations. 'The one thing that I wanna talk about that was in the tabloids is they said that I faked my breast cancer, and that is the craziest thing,' she said on Chrisley Confessions 2.0. She added: 'What people don't realize is [that] I was diagnosed with breast cancer [in] March of 2012.' Her husband Todd, 56, chimed in and said that he recalled how she received her diagnosis when she was 39 years old. The couple — who were serving multi-year sentences prison after being convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion prior to Trump's presidential pardon — noted that she received her cancer diagnosis 'before this happened.' Julie Chrisley slammed claims that she faked her breast cancer diagnosis in the past During Wednesday's episode of their family podcast, the reality TV personality, 52, addressed the 'crazy' accusations She clarified that she 'had already been diagnosed with breast cancer' a decade before their trial and convictions. 'I was completing my treatment at that time,' she recalled about the summer of 2012, when they were grieving the loss of Todd's father. 'But the thing is that someone would think that I would ever fake a breast cancer diagnosis.' She added: 'I have had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing, wonderful women who have fought the breast cancer fight.' Julie said that it was 'so disrespectful' towards them to accuse her of faking breast cancer. 'Obviously, if that's something I was gonna do, it didn't help,' she added. 'Because I went to prison. But I went to prison 11 years later.' She said 'it didn't even make sense' for her to fake her cancer diagnosis because she was still convicted and sentenced to serve a (later-reduced) seven-year prison sentence in Lexington, Kentucky. Her husband Todd was originally sentenced to 12 years in prison for his federal fraud charges but only served a portion of his sentence. Todd and Julie served more than two years in prison for tax evasion, fraud and conspiracy before receiving a full presidential pardon in May 2025. In late May, President Trump personally called their daughter Savannah Chrisley, 27, to inform her of his decision to grant the couple clemency. 'The one thing that I wanna talk about that was in the tabloids is they said that I faked my breast cancer, and that is the craziest thing,' she said on Chrisley Confessions 2.0 Her husband Todd, 56, chimed in and said that he recalled how she received her diagnosis when she was 39 years old She clarified that she 'had already been diagnosed with breast cancer' a decade before their trial and convictions. 'I was completing my treatment at that time,' she recalled about the summer of 2012, when they were grieving the loss of Todd's father Todd and Julie served more than two years in prison for tax evasion, fraud and conspiracy before receiving a full presidential pardon in May 2025; pictured November 2019 in Nashville Todd and Julie's daughter Savannah, 27, also addressed the fake breast cancer claims and said she was 'dumbfounded' by the accusations on her Unlocked podcast last month Todd and Julie's daughter Savannah also addressed the fake breast cancer claims and said she was 'dumbfounded' by the accusations on her Unlocked podcast last month. 'I was getting my coffee across the street this morning and I was looking through social media and I saw to where someone commented that my family was this fraud and we're terrible human beings, XYZ, and how my mother faked her breast cancer diagnosis,' she said on a June episode of her podcast. 'Apparently, she faked her breast cancer diagnosis to avoid court proceedings, was what this individual said.' In response to that accusation, she explained: 'They weren't federally or criminally charged until 2019. So, that right there completely debunks your whole theory.' Savannah continued: 'For someone to make an accusation that my mother lied about having breast cancer at the age of 39, there truly is a special place in hell for you. It's that simple.' This comes after Julie opened up about the poor conditions she endured while in prison for more than two years as she revealed the secret health battle she faced while behind bars. During her 28 months behind bars, she developed asthma. She marveled while talking to ABC: 'A month ago I was sitting in prison, dreading a summer with no air conditioning, and now here I am, home.' Savannah also chimed in: 'And that's what mom's living in, in conditions like that, with absolutely no air, and it can be 100 degrees inside the building.' Savannah went on to say, 'She literally said that she got physically sick because she got so hot.
