A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.
The deal preceded the Trump administration's approval of expanded UAE access to advanced U.S. AI chips that had been restricted under the Biden administration.
“That is corruption”The controversy comes amid ongoing concerns about potential conflicts of interest between Trump's crypto ventures and national security policy decisions.
"That is corruption. Those are the elements of a bribe. This is potentially criminal conduct,” he said.
He warned that accountability may be delayed under the current government, but insisted consequences are inevitable, saying “the rule of law is coming back” and that those who traded official favors for money “are going to jail.”
Democrats demand testimonySenator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), ranking member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, previously told Decrypt the situation represents "corruption, plain and simple," demanding the Trump administration reverse its decision to sell sensitive AI chips to the UAE.
Trump gets $500 million in cash then approves deal sending advanced AI chips to UAE. Blatant corruption.
He gets richer every day. You get poorer. That’s his presidency.
The White House and World Liberty Financial did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
