Investigate Trump's “UFC Freedom 250" event!
Trump hosted thousands of people on the White House lawn for “UFC Freedom 250" under the guise of celebrating 250 years since the founding of the U.S.
The event required coordination across multiple federal agencies and the time of hundreds of government personnel. And it served as a key opportunity for the Trump family to continue to use the White House to enrich itself.
According to financial disclosures, Trump owns stock in UFC's parent company. Ticket prices for the UFC event reached up to $1.5 million. Plus, the UFC and the Trump Organization, Trump's massive conglomerate run by his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr., partnered to sell Trump-branded commemorative coins priced as high as $12,000.
Some UFC fighters will even be receiving bonuses from World Liberty Financial—a crypto company created by the Trump family that was also an “official sponsor" of the UFC event.
Members of Congress can hold the White House accountable for ethics breaches—sign the petition calling for an investigation now!
Why is this important?
This isn't the first time the Trump family has used its status to skirt ethics and engage in questionable business practices.
The Trump Organization is launching Trump Mobile with a gold-colored, MAGA-branded smartphone and mobile plan. They originally said the phone would be “made in the USA"—a claim that has since been dropped after it became clear there is essentially no manufacturing system in the U.S. that could fully produce a smartphone at low costs.
The Trump family has already grifted at least $4 billion “off of the presidency," according to some initial reports—from unethical merch, crypto, and real estate schemes.
And all of this is happening while Trump and his cronies slash services to support working families, further scientific research, and protect our public health.
The House and Senate Oversight Committees should immediately investigate how Trump is using the presidency to enrich himself >>
