Trump Courts Billionaires for 2024, Promising Policy Favors. Watchdogs Warn of Corruption.

  • 2 days ago
Donald Trump has ramped up fundraising efforts from mega-donors for his 2024 presidential campaign, promising regulatory changes and policies to benefit their businesses. Critics express concerns over corruption, describing Trump's approach as "transactional." Trump has heavily courted Elon Musk and other billionaire backers, leveraging policy favors in exchange for large donations. Musk's America Pac has spent $60 million supporting Trump, while other donors, including fossil fuel and cryptocurrency moguls, have contributed millions. Watchdogs fear this fundraising strategy undermines transparency and accountability.
