Trump Facing More Trouble After Shady Meeting With Oil Executives
Donald Trump may be in trouble for asking oil executives to donate $1 billion to his campaign in April.
Citizen for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a nonprofit watchdog organization, filed a complaint with the Justice Department alleging criminal bribery regarding Trump’s meeting with industry leaders. The former president and convicted felon told them the $1 billion would be part of a deal in exchange for loosened regulations of the oil industry.
In a statement, CREW’s president Noah Bookbinder said Trump’s actions towards oil executives “follow a pattern.”
“Donald Trump’s actions here follow a pattern of Trump opening himself up to corrupt influence, courting conflicts of interest, and using official positions to enrich himself–and in this case may run afoul of the criminal law,” Bookbinder said. The complaint was sent as a letter to the chief of the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section, Corey Amundson, as well as FBI Director Christopher Wray.
