Diamond and Silk busted for lying under oath about Trump payments as their House hearing goes off the rails-

Lynnette Hardaway, a.k.a., “Diamond” of the Trump-loving social media duo Diamond and Silk, told a blatant falsehood during a congressional hearing on Thursday when she said she and her partner were never once paid by President Donald Trump’s campaign.

When asked by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) if she had received payments from Trump’s campaign, Hardaway said, “No, we have never been paid by the Trump campaign.”

“You have never been paid by the Trump campaign?” the congresswoman asked again.

“We have never been paid by the Trump campaign!” Hardaway shot back, growing increasingly agitated.

“Not $5, not $100?” Lee pressed. “Not $1,274.94?”

“We have never been paid!” she yelled back.

However, a quick search of the Federal Elections Commission’s data base of Trump campaign expenditures shows that this is absolutely not true, as the Trump campaign paid Diamond and Silk exactly $1,274.94 for “field consulting” work.

1. Maybe the Trump campaign lied

Not Diamond and Silk.

The Trump campaign is not comprised of the most honest folks in town.

2. How would have that benifited the campaign though?

3. They have to account for money spent

Some of it was "lost," i.e. ended up in someone's pocket. Account for it by claiming false consultants.

5. Possible but seems too small of amount for that much hassle

Either way someone lied. It would be funny if these two accidentally busted out the Trump campaign though.

9. Too small?

You are assuming that this would be an isolated instance of "incorrect" accounting. Embezzlement or misappropriation of funds is hardly ever a one-time thing.
Keep in mind there was no proper accounting of the inauguration moneys. However, you do have to file FEC reports on campaign money. That requirement could lead to very creative accounting.
Sometimes seemingly small things do lead to bigger things. Think Stormy Daniels.

10. Yes I see your point but that would be a whole lot of little red flags

Someone would have surely pounced on one by now. But with so much corruption to check it could have slipped through the cracks
