Kim Kardashian's ties with the Trump family questioned
Kim Kardashian, however, was fined $1.26 million by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2022 for failing to disclose that she had received $250,000 for promoting a cryptocurrency on her Instagram page.
Her spokesperson cleared the air on her Tesla robot post in the New York Times article titled, 'Is Kim Kardashian Trying to Tell Us Something?', which detailed the SKIMS founder's ties with President-elect Donald Trump and his family.
The two previously worked together to free Alice Marie Johnson who was serving a life sentence for a nonviolent drug conviction. Kardashian is also known to be friends with former first daughter Ivanka Trump. But whenever it came to take a side in politics, the mother-of-four has always presented herself as neutral.
In 2021, she claimed, as per The Hill, "I believe in the rights that the Democrats want, but I believe in the taxes that the Republicans want," before adding, "I’m a mix of both. I’m very neutral."
