Trump and his family failed to report nearly $300,000-worth of gifts from foreign governments, House Democrats allege in new report

[onthedarkside]

 

Donald Trump and his family failed to report nearly $300,000-worth of gifts they received from foreign governments between 2017 and 2020, including a “larger-than-life-sized painting” of the former president that may currently reside at his Mar-a-Lago resort, according to a new report by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee and supporting documents obtained by CNN.

 

Over 100 gifts from foreign officials, including Chinese President Xi Jinping and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, with a total value of over a quarter of a million dollars, were never disclosed to the State Department by Trump and members of his immediate family as required by law, the report says.

 

House Democrats say the discovery of these unreported foreign gifts, including 17 from Saudi Arabia with a total value of more than $48,000, “raises significant questions about why former President Trump failed to disclose these gifts to the public” and whether they may have been used to influence US policy under the previous administration.

Yes, yes, yes, that is all very well, but what about the porn on Hunter Biden's laptop?

Then there's peachy story, let's see, the Saudis give Jared Kushner, an actual member of the Trump administration and senior advisor to the former president, $2bn for his "investment" fund - why, because Kushner is such a talented investor?  Yeah, right.

Not just that but MbS, the defacto ruler of Saudi Arabia, overrode his economic advisors who disapproved of investing with Kushner.

An obvious conflict of interest. I guess the GOP committee has now buried the investigation. They seem to focus only on non-conflict of interest cases.

Yes, an obvious corruption story too.

You know if it was Trump, those pics would be everywhere. But a biden, and it's buried.

The closest we have seen Trump's porn was the display of mushroom shapes and sizes by Stormy Daniel. As for Biden's non-consensual nude pics, they were taken down by Twitter under their terms of service.
