The conservative social media personalities known as Diamond and Silk claimed under oath at a House Judiciary Committee hearing that they were never paid by President Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Federal campaign finance filings show otherwise.
"We have never been paid by the Trump campaign," Lynette Hardaway, who goes by Diamond, told Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.
Filings with the Federal Election Commission show that the campaign paid the duo $1,275 on November 22, 2016 for "field consulting."
