        To be fair, if one of Obama’s relatives got a 2 billion dollar check from a foreign country after he left office, it would still be a big story.

                The same ones who voted twice for Donald Trump and who will vote for him again this November. Won’t catch them using no fancy mustard.

        Completely unrelated to Trump stealing classified nuclear data the Saudis were willing to pay billions to get their hands on.

        I could swear that I was hearing about this deal while Trump was president… Its paywalled so I didn’t look at the article, but maybe the deal was made prior to him leaving and the payment came later?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Using documents produced through a court fight, the report describes how foreign governments and their controlled entities, including a top U.S. adversary, interacted with Trump businesses while he was president.

    ”By elevating his personal financial interests and the policy priorities of corrupt foreign powers over the American public interest, former President Trump violated both the clear commands of the Constitution and the careful precedent set and observed by every previous commander in chief,” Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, wrote in a foreword to the report.

    Among the countries patronizing Mr. Trump’s properties, China made the largest total payment — $5.5 million — to his business interests, the report found.

    After they won court rulings, Mazars USA, the longtime accounting firm for Mr. Trump that cut ties with him and his family business, began in 2022 turning over documents related to his financial dealings.

    Representative James R. Comer, Republican of Kentucky and the chairman of the Oversight Committee, made clear he had abandoned any investigation into the former president’s financial dealings and was instead focusing on whether Mr. Biden and members of his family were involved in an influence-peddling scheme.

    “Critically, even this subset of documents reveals a stunning web of millions of dollars in payments made by foreign governments and their agents directly to Trump-owned businesses while President Trump was in the White House,” the report states.


    The original article contains 873 words, the summary contains 234 words. Saved 73%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
