Elizabeth Warren Exposes All The Corporate Money Flowing To Trump’s Presidential Library
HuffPost
Paramount, Meta and X are among the companies giving tens of millions of dollars to Trump’s future library as they seek perks from his administration.
WASHINGTON — Companies hoping for favorable outcomes from the Trump administration have pledged to give at least $63 million to Donald Trump’s future presidential library, according to a new analysis from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
Beyond that, other promised gifts and in-kind donations from special interest groups bring the total value of gifts pouring into Trump’s future library to at least half a billion dollars.
“The timing of these donations – coming while Trump sits in office and makes critical decisions that may impact the same donors – raises serious ethical concerns about potential bribery and Influence-peddling,” reads Warren’s report, first obtained by HuffPost. “Many of the gifts came in the form of settlements to Trump-filed lawsuits.”
The Massachusetts senator is only spotlighting the known gifts and money being pledged for Trump’s library; it’s possible there are other companies promising donations that aren’t yet public. But her report marks the first time that all of the known money and gifts flowing into the president’s future library are laid out in one place.
There are virtually no restrictions on donations to presidential libraries. U.S. presidents have been setting up libraries for themselves since the 1930s to honor their legacies once they’re out of office and to let the public learn about what they did.
