Harris Campaign Faces Scrutiny Over $500K Donation to Al Sharpton's Nonprofit

The donation preceded a favorable interview on MSNBC, raising questions about financial dealings and campaign strategies.

Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, which ended $20 million in debt, donated $500,000 to Al Sharpton's National Action Network before a friendly interview on MSNBC.
The donation was part of $5.4 million given to black and Latino advocacy groups in an effort to galvanize minority voter support.
Al Sharpton, who conducted the interview, did not disclose the payments during the segment, leading to conflict of interest concerns.
Harris's campaign also spent significantly on other media engagements, including $1 million to Oprah Winfrey's production company.
Despite the massive spending, Harris lost both the Electoral College and the popular vote to President-elect Donald Trump, who saw increased support from black and Latino voters.
