Following Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, Donald Trump has quickly targeted Vice President Kamala Harris, reviving his nickname for her: “Laffin’ Kamala Harris.”

However, Trump faces an awkward issue: a $5,000 check he wrote to Harris on September 26, 2011, and other donations from the Trump family during her tenure as California’s Attorney General.

The check and donations, totaling $8,000, have resurfaced on social media, with critics noting the irony of Trump’s past financial support.

Trump previously claimed the donation was a favor for New York’s then top prosecutor, Eric Schneiderman, and not related to any investigations, The Guardian has reported.

Despite this Harris donated the $6,000 she received from Trump to a civil rights organization when she began her Senate campaign.
