Investigate potential corruption between JBS and Trump administration

Allegations of potential corruption and quid pro quo arrangements between JBS and the Trump administration raise serious ethical concerns that warrant thorough investigation. As one of the world's largest meat companies, JBS made a staggering $5 million donation to Trump's inaugural committee, by far the largest contribution. This came shortly before the company received long-sought approval from the SEC to list on the New York Stock Exchange after years of attempts. The timing and magnitude of the donation, combined with the administration's actions that directly benefited JBS, suggest the possibility of an undue influence or transactional relationship. This is especially troubling given the ongoing civil investigations into JBS subsidiary Pilgrim's Pride by the Department of Justice regarding farmer compensation practices and antitrust violations. It is imperative that any conflicts of interest, pay-to-play schemes, or ethics breaches related to these events be rigorously examined. No company should be able to buy favorable regulatory treatment, and the public deserves full transparency regarding the real motivations behind decisions that impact fair markets and consumer interests. An independent inquiry is warranted to uphold the integrity of the political process and government institutions.
