‘Kamala Should Be Jailed!’ Trump ACCUSES Democrats Of Illegal Celebrity Payments | 2024 Elections

U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited a political firestorm by accusing the Democratic Party of committing “fraud” during the 2024 election campaign. In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed that Democrats paid millions to celebrities for endorsements—an act he called “totally illegal.” He alleged $11 million was funneled to Beyoncé, $3 million to Oprah Winfrey, and $600,000 to Reverend Al Sharpton. Trump emphasized that none of the celebrities performed or contributed meaningfully, calling it a misuse of campaign funds and accusing them of falsifying financial records. He concluded with a demand for the prosecution of Vice President Kamala Harris and others “who broke the law.” Trump's latest explosive allegations have reignited debates on the legality of political endorsements, celebrity influence in elections, and campaign financing ethics. His claims, if proven, could carry legal and electoral consequences. The White House and Democratic Party are yet to respond. #TrumpVsKamala #EndorsementScandal #CelebrityFraud #BeyoncePolitics #TrumpTruthSocial #KamalaHarris #ElectionFraudClaims #CampaignCorruption #PoliticalEndorsement #OprahWinfrey #DonaldTrumpNews #Sharpton #DemocratsScandal #IllegalPayments #BreakingPolitics #TrumpAllegesFraud #2024ElectionControversy #TruthSocialPost #TrumpDemandsProsecution ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.125~

Venezuelan Migrants Escape U.S Prison Hell in El Salvador — Tortured and Abused as ‘GANG MEMBERS’

Venezuelan migrants who fled desperation in their homeland were thrown into a notorious “anti-terrorism” prison in El Salvador — a facility backed by U.S. policies. They faced brutal mistreatment, false gang accusations, and inhumane conditions that many describe as “utter Hell.” After months of suffering, 252 migrants were finally flown home to Venezuela amid growing outrage. This shocking crackdown exposes the dark side of immigration enforcement and raises urgent questions about human rights abuses fueled by geopolitical agendas.

Bukele MOCKS MS-13 Suspect's Abuse Claims With Prison Video: ‘Tortured? He Gained Weight Playing….’ [Video]

Bukele MOCKS MS-13 Suspect's Abuse Claims With Prison Video: ‘Tortured? He Gained Weight Playing….’

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has released prison surveillance footage to counter claims of abuse made by Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a suspected MS-13 member deported from the U.S. to El Salvador’s high-security prison. Garcia alleged he was beaten, starved, and denied basic human needs. But Bukele shared over 3 minutes of video showing Garcia eating, gardening, fishing, and playing soccer and chess — appearing healthy and unharmed. The footage, however, was recorded after Garcia’s transfer to a different prison, sparking debate over the truth of his treatment at the infamous CECOT facility. Bukele mocked the media and courts for believing Garcia, while citing a U.S. Senator who met Garcia and saw “no signs of abuse.” Garcia remains in a U.S. prison facing human smuggling charges as legal battles over his deportation continue in Maryland. The DOJ is now pushing to dismiss Garcia’s lawsuit, but the judge has yet to agree. #Bukele #ElSalvador #GarciaCase #MS13 #PrisonAbuse #CECOT #DeportationDebate #USImmigration #SurveillanceVideo #GangViolence #KilmarGarcia #USCourt #SantaAnaPrison #SenatorVanHollen #PamBondi #TrumpPolicy #ImmigrationBattle #HumanRightsWatch #ICEDeportation #ElSalvadorNews ~HT.410~ED.346~
