Trump allegedly stashing federal funds in a bank in Qatar to spend without congressional approval

Multiple fact‑checking outlets reviewed the claim and found:
- The money is not Trump’s
- The money is not in a private Trump-controlled account
- The funds are held under U.S. government oversight
- The purpose is to manage Venezuelan oil revenue during the U.S.-led transition effort
- The funds are intended to benefit the American and Venezuelan people, according to official statements
The $500 million Venezuelan oil sale was real — but claims that Trump “stole” the money or put it in a personal account in Qatar are false.
