Hush Money? Records Show Biden/Harris Campaign Paid $15K to Emhoff’s Ex in 2020

Investigative journalist Laura Loomer alleged in a recent X post that the Biden–Harris campaign in 2020 paid hush money to the ex-wife of second gent Doug Emhoff.

Kerstin Emhoff, the second gent’s first wife, who is now CEO of a film-production company called Ventureland, received a payment from the campaign for nearly $15,000 in 2020.

“We sometimes joke that our modern family is almost a little too functional,” Harris claimed, adding that the nontraditional family is perfectly possible “if everyone approaches it in the way that there’s plenty of love to share.” In addition to pointing out the hush-money mayments, Loomer reported that both Ventureland and Pretty Bird—another one of Kerstin Emhoff’s companies—shared an office building with NPR, which, like most of the corporate media, appears to favor Harris.

“To know Cole and Ella is to know that their mother, Kerstin, is an incredible mother,” Harris wrote in a 2019 essay for Elle magazine, claiming that she and Kerstin were “dear friends” and a “duo of cheerleaders” for the kids.

The childless Harris has sought to normalize herself to voters by appearing to be the co-parent to Emhoff’s children, claiming they had affectionately dubbed her “Momala,” even though Cole, 29, and Ella, 25, were both in their late teens when she married their father in 2014.

She posted an Instagram picture of herself inside Chicago’s United Center with the caption “So excited for this week!” Loomer speculated that the payments had helped to placate Kerstin Emhoff, who recently revealed in an interview with CNN how much she loved sharing her children with Harris.

Moreover, she has reportedly contracted with the 2024 Harris–Walz campaign for video production services, including some of the work at the recent Democratic National Convention.
