"…it looks like a bribe." Gobsmacking, mind-blowing, foreign policy-destroying corruption even for the Trump Crime Family. They sold the US’s biggest secrets to the UAE [China] for personal profit. Their crypto coin was created (!) as the vehicle for pmt.

Full WSJ article 🎁 🔗 in Rachel’s comments.
The deal with World Liberty Financial, which hasn't previously been reported, was signed by Eric Trump, the president's son. At least $31 million was also slated to flow to entities affiliated with the family of Steve Witkoff, a World Liberty co-founder who weeks earlier had been named U.S. envoy to the Middle East, the documents said. The deal marked something unprecedented in American politics: a foreign government official taking a major ownership stake in an incoming U.S. president's company. Trump's real-estate company has courted deals with foreign companies since his election, and the president has accepted gifts from foreign governments, including a $400 million luxury airliner from Qatar. But the World Liberty deal is the only known case of a foreign government official purchasing a major stake in a Trump company after his election. Disclosures on World Liberty's website showed the Trump family's equity interest fell to 38% from 75% last year, indicating someone had likely purchased a stake, but the company has never disclosed a buyer. Trump has long faced criticism for retaining control of his private business empire while in office and for the foreign profits that come with it. In his first term, Democratic lawmakers sued Trump, alleging he violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by receiving profits from foreign governments patronizing his businesses. Trump called it a witch hunt, and the Justice Department said Trump's share of the profits didn't count as an emolument. The Supreme Court declined to review the matter. The provision is intended to prevent any government official from being "in the pocket of a foreign government," said Kathleen Clark, a law professor and former ethics lawyer for the city of Washington, D.C. "This sure looks like a violation of the foreign emoluments clause, and more to the point, it looks like a bribe." The transaction, she said, "should be a five-alarm fire about the federal government being for sale."
