Former President Trump criticized current Vice President Kamala Harris regarding her dubious assertion that she had previously been employed at a McDonald’s.
Trump his supporters, “She also said, ‘I worked at McDonald’s.’ Turned out she didn’t work at McDonald’s.”
“Did anyone see that?” he added. “After an exhaustive study that took about 20 minutes, they found out she never worked there.”
A further update has emerged from Paul Sperry of RealClearInvestigations, who reported on Friday that the campaign abruptly ceased mentioning her purported employment at McDonald’s and has declined to answer media inquiries requesting verification of her McDonald’s job.
DEVELOPING: Kamala campaign has stopped referencing her alleged job at McDonald's and won't respond to media questions seeking the location of the McDonald's store and the dates of her employment at McDonald's, which appears nowhere in her memoirs or early resumes…developing…

It remains uncertain whether Kamala Harris actually worked at McDonald’s during her college years, despite her frequent assertions to that effect. However, the following information is available.
The Washington Free Beacon conducted extensive investigative research but found no evidence supporting the claim that Kamala was employed at McDonald’s. This investigation included a job application she submitted as a law student, which required her to list all her employment over the preceding decade. The alleged McDonald’s position would have been included in that timeframe. While she detailed various other jobs, the McDonald’s position was notably absent.
Furthermore, it is noteworthy that Harris did not mention this seemingly relatable summer employment until her presidential campaign in 2019. This experience is not referenced in either of her two memoirs or in any campaign materials prior to 2019. Additionally, the Harris campaign has, to date, declined multiple requests to substantiate the claim regarding her employment at McDonald’s. The Free Beacon awaited a response for two weeks without success.
