You need to investigate Donald Trump's foreign business dealings before they permanently corrupt American foreign policy. Four days before his second inauguration, Abu Dhabi royal Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan's lieutenants secretly purchased a 49% stake in Trump's World Liberty Financial for $500 million, with $187 million paid upfront to Trump family entities. Ethics lawyer Kathleen Clark called it plainly: "This sure looks like a violation of the foreign emoluments clause, and more to the point, it looks like a bribe." The policy payoffs followed immediately. Trump reversed Biden-era restrictions on UAE access to US AI chips. He fast-tracked a program letting the UAE invest more easily in the US. Sheikh Tahnoon got unprecedented access to Trump and six cabinet officials — former national security officials described being "stunned." Then Trump pardoned Changpeng Zhao, the Binance founder convicted of money laundering who lives in the UAE and whose exchange received a $2 billion investment from that same deal. The New Yorker puts Trump's presidency-leveraged business gains at over $4 billion. Trump himself said "nobody cared" about his first-term corruption. That cannot be the final word. Congress has the power to act where the Supreme Court has refused. Hold hearings. Subpoena the World Liberty Financial records. Make corruption the central issue it deserves to be — because if this goes unanswered, we've established that the presidency is for sale.
