From the outset, Donald Trump’s second stint as president has been dogged by ethics controversies, from his foray into the cryptocurrency industry to Elon Musk’s dual roles as both the former head of the Department of Government Efficiency and a major federal contractor. ProPublica has examined the holdings and official actions of numerous top officials to monitor for potential conflicts of interest and ethics violations.
In this virtual event, ProPublica’s reporting team will review what it has uncovered, including stock sales by cabinet members ahead of Trump tariff announcements, secret payments to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and DOGE staffers tied to Musk who played key roles in mass layoffs at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Reporters will walk through their findings and answer your presubmitted questions.
Submit your questions for the panelists when you RSVP.
