Democrats paid Beyoncé $11 million for an endorsement.

Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother and former manager, in November rebutted the claims her daughter was paid for the event, writing on Instagram that, "Beyonce did not receive a penny for speaking" and "actually paid for her own flights for her and her team, and total Glam."

Trump also wasn’t right about it being illegal for a political candidate to pay for an endorsement.

Myles Martin, deputy press officer for the Federal Election Commission, pointed PolitiFact to a campaign disbursement page on how campaigns can spend their funds, which includes using funds "to influence the federal election of the candidate." The page does not list any laws that say a candidate can’t pay for endorsements; candidates are legally required to report payments.



False.
