Senator Chris Murphy just went scorched earth on the Senate floor about that $187M payout to the Trump family. He is pointing at that secret $500M deal where an Abu Dhabi firm bought a huge stake in World Liberty Financial just four days before the inauguration. Murphy says it aint a coincidence that $187M went to Trump and $31M went to his Middle East advisor Steve Witkoff right before the administration handed over national security secrets and AI chips that every other president refused to share. He is calling it a straight up bribe and says the rule of law gonna catch up to everyone who greased their palms off the government. It is a massive accusation, but with those kinds of numbers moving in secret, people are starting to ask why the deal was hidden until the WSJ blew the whistle.
