Trump Accused of Enabling Financial Corruption Through Secret Transition Donations
President-elect Trump’s transition team has not signed the required Presidential Transition Act agreement, thus circumventing fundraising limits and disclosure requirements. This lack of transparency allows undisclosed donors, potentially including foreign nationals, to contribute to the transition effort without public scrutiny. This action is unprecedented and raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest and financial corruption, hindering the incoming administration’s ability to govern effectively. Several members of Congress have voiced strong concerns, highlighting the risks to national security and democratic governance.
