Don't forget he went to Harris and she turned him away, and he went to Trump. Trump "allegedly" gave him the position in exchange for dropping out of the race and endorsing Trump. Which happened directly after.
People claimed at the time that would be illegal as it would fall under quid pro quo.
Edit: had to update it because the timeline was unclear which he went to first. One source reports he went to Trump first, then Harris after. Either way the result was the same. Harris didn't respond, and Trump did. Getting the endorsement
“Illegal” is a word that only applies to poor people.
It also is not held in politics. We have lost all integrity.
I'm surprised Harris didn't respond, she seemed to like endorsements from shit headed right wingers
