Donald Trump announced today that he wants to launch a "major investigation" into the support that his former presidential opponent Kamala Harris received from celebrities, continuing the confrontation that began last week with the famous rock singer Bruce Springsteen.
" How much money did Kamala Harris pay Bruce Springsteen for his poor performance during her presidential campaign? " Trump asked in a post on Truth Social, referring to the famous singer's appearance at a Harris campaign rally in the state of Georgia a few weeks before the presidential election.
" Candidates are not allowed to pay for donations, which is what Kamala did by pretending to pay for entertainment. Moreover, it was a very expensive and desperate attempt to artificially increase the small crowds she was drawing at her campaign rallies ," Trump further wrote.
The US president underlined that this " is not legal ". " I will demand a full investigation into this matter ", stressed Trump.
During her 2024 election campaign, Harris was supported by major music and television stars, such as Beyoncé and Oprah Winfrey.
Winfrey has already denied that her production company received $1 million from the former US vice president's campaign team. Additionally, Harris' team has denied rumors that she paid Beyonce to appear at a campaign event.
Last week, Trump harshly attacked Springsteen, saying he " never liked him ."
" I have never liked his music or his left-wing extremist policies ," the President declared, calling the singer an "idiot" after comments he made during a concert in Manchester, England.
" My homeland, the America I love, the America I wrote about, which has been a beacon of hope and freedom for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treacherous government ," Springsteen lamented at the concert, urging the audience to speak out against authoritarianism and let freedom triumph.
