This Is What 500 Days of Trump's Corruption Looks Like

RECESS. THE PRESIDING OFFICER: WITHOUT. OBJECTION. MR. MURPHY: THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES, OVER THE LAST YEAR. AND A HALF, OUR PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP, HAS TURNED THE. WHITE HOUSE INTO A 24/7. CORRUPTION OPERATION. THIS IS A NATIONAL CRISIS, AND. WE SHOULD START ACTING LIKE IT. THE PRESIDENT'S GOAL IS TO. ENGAGE IN SO MUCH CORRUPTION, SO. MUCH SELF-ENRICHMENT, TO HAND. OUT SO MANY FAVORS TO HIS. FRIENDS, HIS FAMILY, AND HIS.

POLITICAL ALLIES, THAT IT JUST. BECOMES THE PITTER-PATTER OF. RAIN, IT'S NORMAL, IT'S. CONSTANT, IT'S NEVER-ENDING. TRUMP'S BET IS THAT IF THERE'S A. NEW STORY OF CORRUPTION, OF. SELF-DEALING, EVERY FEW DAYS, THAT THE PRESS WILL STOP. COVERING IT, OR THE PUBLIC WILL. JUST STOP PAYING ATTENTION. TO ANNEX TENT, HE IS. TRAGICALLY -- TO ANEXTEND, HE --. TO ANNEX TENT HE IS TRAGICALLY.

SUCCEEDING. BUT HE IS BETTING THE PUBLIC. WILL COME TO THE CONCLUSION THIS. IS NORMAL, THAT ALL OF OUR. POLITICS, EVERY SENATOR, EVERY. PREVIOUS PRESIDENT IS THIS. CORRUPT. THAT IS NOT TRUE. I WHILE I DISAGREE WITH MY. SENATE REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES'. DECISION TO LARGELY REMAIN. SILENT IN THE FACE OF THIS. MISCONDUCT, IT IS TRUE THAT NOT. A SINGLE SENATOR ON EITHER SIDE. OF THE AISLE ENGAGES IN THE.

BEHAVIOR THAT OUR PRESIDENT. DOES. SENATORS, REPUBLICANS AND. DEMOCRATS, DO NOT TRADE OUR. VOTES FOR CASH OR FOR POLITICAL. CONTRIBUTIONS. WE DON'T RUN SIDE HUSTLES LIKE. CRYPTO COMPANIES. SENATORS DON'T GIVE CONTRACTS TO. THEIR KIDS JUST BECAUSE WE CAN. AND NO PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY. OF THIS COUNTRY HAS DONE WHAT. DONALD TRUMP HAS DONE. NO PRESIDENT HAS DONE 5% OF THE.

SELF-DEALING THAT DONALD TRUMP. HAS DONE IN THE LAST YEAR AND A. HALF. THIS MOMENT IS EXCEPTIONAL. IT IS A ONE-OF-ONE MOMENT. AND IF IT BECOMES NORMAL, IF. PEOPLE STOP BEING OUTRAGED AT. WHAT HE IS DOING TO ENRICH. HIMSELF, THEN I FEAR THERE IS NO. GOING BACK. THE WHITE HOUSE WILL JUST BECOME. A PLACE TO GET RICH. SO, I THINK IT'S TIME TO PULL. BACK AND SEE THE FULL PICTURE,

TO NOT VIEW THIS AS JUST ONE. ISOLATED SCANDAL AFTER ANOTHER, EVERY SINGLE ONE POPPING UP EACH. WEEK OR EVERY FEW DAYS, BUT TO. UNDERSTAND THE FULL SCOPE OF. THIS ILLEGALITY. LAST YEAR I CAME TO THE FLOOR TO. DOCUMENT THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF. DONALD TRUMP'S MIND-BLOWING. CORRUPTION. SINCE THEN, ESPECIALLY IN 2026, THE PACE OF HIS MISCONDUCT HAS.

QUICKENED DRAMATICALLY. AND SO I AM HERE ON THE FLOOR. TODAY, AND I'M GOING TO SPEND. MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES DOING. THIS, LAYING OUT WHAT HAS. HAPPENED SINCE I GAVE THAT LAST. SPEECH. THIS IS THE STORY OF 500 DAYS OF. CORRUPTION. AND I'M GOING TO START ON APRIL.

7, 2025. THIS IS WHEN THE CURRENT ACTING. ATTORNEY GENERAL, TODD BLANCHE, ISSUES A MEMO ORDERING THE. TERMINATION OF SEVERAL BIDEN-ERA. DOJ INVESTIGATIONS INTO CRYPTO. COMPANIES. NOW, HERE'S THE PROBLEM -- THE. THEN-DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL IS. A MAJOR INVESTOR IN CRYPTO. COMPANIES, AND HE WORKS FOR A.

PRESIDENT WHO IS A MAJOR PLAYER. IN THE CRYPTO INDUSTRY. BUT DOJ JUST DROPS THESE. INVESTIGATIONS, SIGNALS THAT THE. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS NO. LONGER GOING TO HOLD CRYPTO. COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE. BUT BLANCHE OWNS MAJOR. INVESTMENTS IN CRYPTO STOCKS. THE PRESIDENT IS ONE OF THE. BIGGEST PLAYERS IN THE INDUSTRY. BLANCHE DOESN'T ACTUALLY STOP. THERE. HE ELIMINATES THE ENTIRE.

ENFORCEMENT TEAM AT DOJ. DEDICATED TO ROOTING OUT. CRYPTO-RELATED FRAUD AND MONEY. LAUNDERING SCHEMES. THIS IS A CRYPTO INVESTOR WHO. WORKS FOR A PRESIDENT WHO OWNS. CRYPTO COMPANIES, SHUTTING DOWN. THE UNIT AT DOJ THAT HOLDS THIS. INDUSTRY ACCOUNTABLE. LET'S MOVE TO THREE WEEKS LATER, ON APRIL 30. LATER IN THE MONTH, A CURIOUS. ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE DEPARTMENT.

OF AGRICULTURE. THEY ARE REVERSING A RULE THAT. WOULD REQUIRE POULTRY COMPANIES. TO LIMIT SALMONELLA BACTERIA. PRODUCTS IN THEIR PRODUCTS. THIS RULE MAKES IT LESS LIKELY. THAT PEOPLE GET SALMONELLA. POISONING. WE COME TO FIND OUT ONE OF THE. BIGGEST DONORS TO DONALD TRUMP'S. INAUGURATION WAS A POULTRY.

COMPANY, CALLED PILGRIM'S PRIDE. THEY MADE A DONATION TO TRUMP'S. INAUGURATION THAT WAS BIGGER. THAN PRACTICALLY ANY OTHER. COMPANY, BIGGER THAN AMAZON, META, OR EXXON. $5 MILLION. AFTER THEY MADE THE DONATION, THEY ASKED FOR ONE THING -- THE. REVERSAL OF THIS SALMONELLA. RULE, AND THEY GOT IT. THIS IS PAY FOR PLAY. YOU MAKE A DONATION TO THE. PRESIDENT OR THE PRESIDENT'S. POLITICAL OPERATION, YOU ASK FOR. A FAVOR, AND YOU GET IT, AND WE.

WILL SEE AS WE WIND THROUGH. THESE 500 DAYS THIS HAPPENS OVER. AND OVER AGAIN. IN MAY 2025, THE PARDON RACKET. STARTS. EVERY MEMBER OF THE SENATE. SHOULD BE OUTRAGED AT THIS. YOU ALL KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING. THE PRESIDENT IS PARDON YONG. PEOPLE BASED ON -- PARDONONING. PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR ABILITY TO. PAY, EITHER HIM AND HIS. POLITICAL OPERATION OR PAY. PEOPLE WHO ARE CLOSE TO THE.

PRESIDENT. ON MAY 27, DONALD TRUMP PARDONS. A MAN CALLED PAUL WALZAK. THIS IS A REALLY BAD GUY. HE STOLE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. FROM THE NURSES AND HEALTH CARE. AIDES AT THE NURSING HOME HE. OWNED, AND HE USED THE CASH THAT. HE STOLE FROM HIS EMPLOYEES TO. BUY A $2 MILLION YACHT. HE GOT CONVICTED. HE WENT TO JAIL FOR FRAUD.

BUT HIS MOTHER PAID $1 MILLION. TO BUY A FACE-TO-FACE MEETING. WITH DONALD TRUMP, AND THREE. WEEKS AFTER THAT PAID AUDIENCE, HER SON WAS GIVEN A FULL AND. UNCONDITIONAL PARDON THAT WENT. SO FAR AS TO RELIEVE HIM OF ANY. DUTY TO PAY BACK THE. $4.4 MILLION THAT HE STOLE FROM. HIS EMPLOYEES. THIS IS A NEW PAY-FOR-PARDONS. SCHEME THAT BEGINS IN MAY.

IN JUNE OF 2025, IT'S REVEALED. THAT TOP ADMINISTRATION. OFFICIALS ARE CASHING IN ON. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS THAT. BENEFIT THEIR OWN INVESTMENT. PORTFOLIO. STEPHEN MILLER IS MORE THAN JUST. THE ARCHITECT OF THE. ADMINISTRATION'S HARDLINE. IMMIGRATION POLICIES. HE HAS A PERSONAL FINANCIAL. STAKE IN THEM. FOR INSTANCE, MILLER OWNS UP TO. $250,000 IN PALLENTIER STOCK,

AND JUST A MONTH BEFORE MILLER'S. HOLDINGS BECAME PUBLIC ICE. ANNOUNCED IT WAS AWARDING A. $30 MILLION CONTRACT TO -- YOU. GUESSED IT -- PALANTIER, TO. PROVIDE REALTIME SURVEILLANCE. INFORMATION TO ICE OFFICERS. YOU'LL BE SHOCKED TO HEAR THIS, THERE WAS NO COMPETITIVE BID. PROCESS FOR THAT CONTRACT. YOU WILL HEAR THIS OVER AND OVER. AGAIN. COMPETITIVE BIDDING BASICALLY. DOESN'T EXIST. IF THE PRESIDENT OR SOMEBODY. CLOSE TO THE PRESIDENT WANTS A.

CONTRACT DIRECTED TO A FRIENDS. OR TO A COMPANY IN WHICH THEY. INVEST. MILLER OVERSEEING ICE, ICE GIVES. A NO-BID CONTRACT TO PALANTIER, THE INVESTORS IN PALANTIER, WHICH INCLUDE STEPHEN MILLER, GET RICH. MOVE TO SEPTEMBER 2025. IN SEPTEMBER WE START TO LEARN. THE DANGER OF DONALD TRUMP'S. CRYPTO CORRUPTION. I COVERED THIS IN THE FIRST 100. DAYS OF CORRUPTION. THIS IS MAYBE THE MOST CORRUPT.

THING TRUMP IS DOING. HE AND HIS FAMILY OWN A CRYPTO. COMPANY THAT ISSUES SEVERAL. CRYPTO COINS. THERE'S NO DISCLOSURE ON WHO IS. BUYING THOSE COINS. THE PRESIDENT PROMOTES THEM. HE INVITES PEOPLE TO OFFICIAL. EVENTS WHO PURCHASE THE COIN. ON SEPTEMBER 18, THOUGH, WE COME. TO FIND OUT THAT TRUMP MADE.

$57 MILLION SELLING CRYPTO. TOKENS TO ENTITIES ASSOCIATED. WITH THE REGIMES IN NORTH KOREA, IRAN, AND RUSSIA. EXTRAORDINARY INVESTMENTS BEING. MADE BY ENTITIES THAT ARE TIED. IN WITH NORTH KOREA, IRAN, AND. RUSSIA, INTO TRUMP'S CRYPTO. COMPANIES. IT BEGS THE QUESTION, AS WE ARE.

CURRENTLY DEBATING AN IRAN DEAL. THAT BASICALLY EXISTS ON IRAN'S. TERMS, WHY WAS THERE A FLOOD OF. MONEY FROM IRANIAN REGIME-BACKED. ENTITIES INTO THE TRUMP CRYPTO. COMPANIES? WHY WERE THEY PUTTING THAT. INVESTMENT IN? WHAT DID THEY EXPECT TO GET FROM. THE PRESIDENT? WE NEVER, EVER HAD THIS EXIST. WE'VE NEVER HAD A BACKDOOR. MECHANISM BY WHICH FOREIGN. GOVERNMENTS COULD JUST SHOVEL. MONEY INTO THE POCKET OF THE.

PRESIDENT. IT EXISTS BECAUSE OF THE TRUMP'S. MEME COIN AND HIS STABLECOIN. ON SEPTEMBER 23, THIS IS A WEEK. LATER, IT'S NOW PRETTY OBVIOUS. THAT THERE'S A PAY-TO-PLAY. REGIME IN CHARGE OF THE WHITE. HOUSE A WEEK LATER, ON SEPTEMBER. 23, DONALD TRUMP CLOSES THE. BOOKS ON A CRIMINAL. INVESTIGATION INTO ONE OF HIS. KEY ADVISORS, TOM HOMAN.

THIS IS HIS BORDER CZAR. THE FBI HAD CAUGHT TOM HOMAN. RED-HANDED ENGAGING IN NAKED. CORRUPTION. UNDERCOVER AGENTS HAD HANDED HIM. $50,000 IN CASH IN A BAG, AND HE. AGREED TO GIVE THEM GOVERNMENT. CONTRACTS. THIS WAS ON VIDEO. THIS IS AT BORDER CZAR GETTING A. BAG OF CASH IN EXCHANGE FOR. CONTRACTS, ON VIDEO, BUT THE.

ADMINISTRATION ON SEPTEMBER 20. JUST MAKES THE INVESTIGATION GO. AWAY, BECAUSE THAT KIND OF. BRIBERY, THAT KIND OF NAKED. GRAFT, IS OKAY IN THIS WHITE. HOUSE. WE'RE MOVING ON TO OCTOBER 2025. RIGHT NOW. TWO WEEKS AFTER HOMAN IS LET. OFF, MAYBE THE MOST NAKEDLY. CORRUPT PARDON, NOT A SINGLE. SENATOR THAT COULD DEFEND THIS.

CHEN PENG XAO BUILT A BUSINESS. ON ALLOWING DRUG TRAFFICKERS AND. SEX PREDATORS TO EVADE THE LAW. HE WENT TO JAIL FOR THIS. BUT HE ALSO HELPED TRUMP LAUNCH. HIS CRYPTO BUSINESS. SO WHO CARES ABOUT FINANCING. TERRORISTS AND SEX CRIMINALS? TRUMP GIVES THIS GUY A FULL.

PARDON ON OCTOBER 7. THIS IS A GUY WHO BUILT A. COMPANY THAT ALLOWED TERRORISTS. AND SEX PREDATORS TO ENGAGE IN. PRIVATE FINANCING. HE WENT TO JAIL. HE GOT OUT OF JAIL BECAUSE HE. AGREED TO HELP GET TRUMP RICH. WE'RE STILL IN OCTOBER. LATER THAT MONTH, THE BULLDOZERS.

ARRIVED TO DESTROY THIS LAND FOR. THE BALLROOM. IF YOU CAN'T SOMETHING FOR. DONALD TRUMP, DONATE TO HIS. BALLROOM. THAT'S ALL HE CARES ABOUT. HE TALKS ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME. AS OF THIS MONTH, MORE THAN HALF. OF THE PUBLICLY IDENTIFIED. DONORS TO THE BALLROOM PROJECT. HAVE, SINCE THEY MADE THEIR. DONATION, ONE A NEW OR EXPANDED. FEDERAL CONTRACT TOTALLY MORE.

THAN $50 BILLION. MORE THAN HALF OF THE PEOPLE WHO. DONATED TO THE BALLROOM -- THIS. IS ONLY BEEN LIKE EIGHT MONTHS, SINCE OCTOBER, MORE THAN HALF. HAVE GOTTEN A NEW OR EXPANDED. FEDERAL CONTRACT WORTH. $50 BILLION. MOVING ON TO NOVEMBER OF 2025, IT'S NOT JUST TRUMP'S CORPORATE. DONORS THAT ARE GETTING RICH. NOW. PART OF THE WHITE HOUSE'S DAILY.

OPERATION IS TO FIND CREATIVE. WAYS TO FUNNEL TAXPAYER MONEY TO. TRUMP'S KIDS. THIS ONE IS WILD. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, IN. NOVEMBER, EARLY NOVEMBER, ANNOUNCES A REALLY UNUSUAL DEAL. THE GOVERNMENT, THE PENTAGON, IS. TAKING A $50 MILLION STAKE IN A. SINGLE, RARE EARTH MINERALS. COMPANY CALLED VULCAN ELEMENTS, AND GIVING THEM A $620 MILLION.

TAXPAYER-FUNDED LOAN. THAT IS BIG MONEY. AND THE PENTAGON DOESN'T REALLY. DO DEALS LIKE THIS. BUT THEY DO WHEN DONALD TRUMP. JUNIOR IS ONE OF THE COMPANY'S. KEY INVESTORS. WE COME TO FIND OUT THAT CIVIL. SERVANTS IN THE PENTAGON DID NOT. WANT TO DO THIS DEAL. ONLY DID IT BECAUSE THE WHITE. HOUSE TOLD THEM TO DO THE DEAL. ONE OFFICIAL SAID, QUOTE, THE. CALL CAME FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. WE HAVE TO GET THIS DONE. BEFORE THE DEAL, VULCAN WAS.

WORTH $200 MILLION. DONALD TRUMP JUNIOR MADE AN. INVESTMENT, HIS FATHER GOT THE. PENTAGON TO GIVE THEM THE. CONTRACT AND BUY THE STAKE IN. THE COMPANY, AND THE VALUATION. JUMPED OVERNIGHT, 200 MILLION TO. $2 BILLION. DONALD TRUMP JUNIOR 10X'D HIS.

PROFITS. HOW DOES ANYBODY IN THIS BODY. JUSTIFY THAT? YOU'VE PROBABLY NOT EVEN HEARD. THAT STORY. IT BARELY CRACKED THE NEWS. LIKE, IN NORMAL TIMES THAT. SCANDAL ALONE, THE PRESIDENT'S. SON MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN THE. COMPANY, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THEN MAKING A MASSIVE INVESTMENT. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE PENTAGON. DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT, ONLY DID. IT BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT TOLD. THEM TO DO IT AFTER HIS SON MADE. THE INVESTMENT, AND THE VALUE OF.

THE SON'S INVESTMENT WENT UP 10. TIMES THAT SCANDAL ALONE WOULD. TAKE DOWN A PRESIDENCY. THAT ONE BARELY GETS NOTICED. THREE DAYS LATER, NEWS BREAKS. THAT TRUMP HAS ORDERED ALL THE. MARKETS IN U.S. COAST GUARD. BASES AND FACILITIES TO STOCK. HIS PERSONALLY BRANDED WINE AND. CIDER, DIRECTLY PROFITING FROM. HIS CONTROL OVER THE MILITARY. TELLS THE COAST GUARD, SELL MY. PRODUCTS. THAT'S IT.

THAT'S NOT A COMPLICATED ONE. THAT'S JUST LIKE ORDINARY HO-HUM. CORRUPTION. NOBODY KNOWS THAT EXISTS BECAUSE. THIS ALL FEELS NORMAL. WE'RE NOT EVEN OUT OF NOVEMBER. YET, FELLAS. TWO WEEKS LATER, YOU FEEL THIS, RIGHT? THE PACE IS QUICKENING. TRUMP RELEASES THE HEAD OF A. NURSING HOME EMPIRE, JOSEPH. SCHWARTZ FROM PRISON.

THIS GUY, SIMILAR TO THE OTHER. GUY, SCAMMED HIS PATIENTS, EMPLOYEES, AND THE IRS OUT OF. TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. HE WAS A TAX CHEAT. PEOPLE DIED IN HIS FACILITIES. DUE TO HIS NEGLIGENCE. HE WAS JUST STEALING MONEY FROM. HIS NURSING HOMES, BUT HE PAID A. MILLION DOLLARS TO. TRUMP-CONNECTED LOBBYISTS, AND. TRUMP PARDONED THIS FRAUDSTER. AFTER SERVING THREE MONTHS. THERE WAS NO CLAIM THAT HE WAS. INNOCENT. THERE WAS NO CLAIM THAT THE. TRIAL WAS RIGGED.

NO. THIS GUY WAS CONVICTED OF. MASSIVE FRAUD. HE HURT PEOPLE. AND HE GOT OUT OF JAIL BECAUSE. HE PAID THE RIGHT LOBBYISTS WHO. WERE CONNECTED TO TRUMP. THIS IS HOW IT ALL WORKS. IT'S NOT JUST TRUMP GETTING. RICH. IT'S NOT JUST TRUMP'S SONS. GETTING RICH. IT'S ABOUT EVERYBODY CONNECTED. TO THE PRESIDENT GETTING RICH. IT'S A PARDON-FOR-CASH SCHEME.

OKAY. WE'RE IN DECEMBER. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REVOKES. A BIDEN-ERA RULE -- THIS IS BACK. NURSING HOMES -- TO ENSURE. THAT NURSING HOMES HAVE. SUFFICIENT STAFFING TO MEET THE. BASIC STANDARDS OF CARE. WE HAVE A LOT OF EVIDENCE THAT. UNDERSTAFFED NURSING HOMES HAVE. HIGHER MORTALITY RATES, BUT THIS. RULE IS NOW RESCINDED. AND GUESS WHAT WE FIND OUT. WE FIND OUT THAT NURSING HOME. EXECUTIVES GOT TOGETHER, PAID TO.

HAVE A PRIVATE LUNCH WITH DONALD. TRUMP BECAUSE, REMEMBER, YOU CAN. PAY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO. TRUMP-AFFILIATED POLITICAL. TOUCHPOINT -- ENTITIES, AND YOU. WILL GET A PRIVATE AUDIENCE WITH. HIM. AT LUNCH, THEY ASKED HIM TO. REVOKE THIS RULE, AND HE. IMMEDIATELY ORDERED IT DONE. NO PUBLIC DISCUSSION, NO. CONSIDERATION OF THE MERITS. THE NURSING HOME EXECUTIVES PAID. THE PRICE TO GET A LUNCH. THEY ASKED FOR THE RULE TO BE. RESCINDED, AND THE RULES GOT.

RESCINDED. NO PROCESS. HAD THE LUNCH, PAID THE MONEY, ASKED FOR THE RULE TO BE. RESCINDED, TRUMP CALLED UP AND. THE RULE WAS RESCINDED. WE'RE NOW IN 2026. ON FEBRUARY 10, TRUMP ANNOUNCES. THAT HE -- THIS ONE IS WILD --. HE ANNOUNCES ON FEBRUARY 10 THAT. HE'S BLOCKING THE OPENING OF A. BRIDGE THAT'S READY TO OPEN, CONNECTING DETROIT TO CANADA.

IT'S READY TO OPEN. THIS IS A BRIDGE THAT IS GOING. TO HELP PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF. THE BORDER. AND GUESS WHAT WE FIND OUT. THE OWNER OF AN EXISTING BRIDGE, WHOSE PROFITS WOULD BE HARMED BY. THE COMPETITOR BRIDGE, DONATED A. MILLION DOLLARS TO GET A. MEETING, THIS TIME WITH. SECRETARY OF COMMERCE, HOWARD. LUTNICK. AND THIS ISN'T WITHIN DAYS THIS.

TIME. WITHIN HOURS OF THE MEETING WITH. THE COMMERCE SECRETARY, HOURS, THE OWNERS OF THE EXISTING. BRIDGE GOT WHAT THEY WANTED. TRUMP ANNOUNCED THAT HE WOULD. BLOCK THE OPENING OF THE BRIDGE. A MILLION DOLLARS, A MEETING, AND A DONOR GET WHAT IS THEY. WANT WITHIN HOURS. THE NEXT MONTH, WE START TO SEE. THAT TRUMP'S INNER CIRCLE KNOWS.

THAT THEY CAN GET IN ON THE. ACTION. VERY FEW PEOPLE ARE CLOSER TO. PRESIDENT TRUMP THAN COREY. LEWANDOWSKI. AND HE IS, AT THE TIME, A. SPECIAL ADVISOR TO THE SECRETARY. OF HOMELAND SECURITY. AND LEWANDOWSKI IS BASICALLY. LIKE, THERE ARE NO RULES. ANYMORE. I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT. AND HE BEGINS TO ENGAGE IN.

MOB-STYLE THREATS TO. CONTRACTORS. HE DEMANDS DIRECT PAYMENTS FROM. COMPANIES THAT WANT DHS. CONTRACTS, FOR HIS PROTECTION. IF YOU PAY ME MONEY, I WILL. PROTECT YOUR CONTRACTS. AND THERE'S PLENTY OF EVIDENCE. HERE, FROM THE COMPANIES. THEMSELVES, WHO TELL THE STORY. OF WHEN THEY REFUSE TO PAY. LEWANDOWSKI FOR PROTECTION, MOB-STYLE PROTECTION. SUDDENLY, THEIR CONTRACTS FROM. DHS DRY UP.

A DHS EMPLOYEE CONFIRMED THAT HE. RECEIVED DIRECT INSTRUCTIONS TO. NOT GIVE A COMPANY THAT DIDN'T. PAY LEWANDOWSKI ANY MORE. CONTRACTS. IN APRIL, ANOTHER SCHEME TO HELP. DONALD TRUMP'S KIDS. FOR ALMOST 100 YEARS, IT HAS. BEEN ILLEGAL TO SHIP HANDGUNS. THROUGH THE MAIL BECAUSE IT'S A. LOT EASIER FOR VIOLENT CRIMINALS. TO ILLEGALLY ACCESS GUNS IF THEY.

CAN JUST GET THOSE GUNS SHIPPED. TO THEIR FRONT DOOR. BUT DONALD TRUMP JUNIOR BOUGHT A. HUGE STAKE IN A COMPANY THAT WAS. GOING TO CORNER THE MARKET ON. THE MAIL-ORDER SALE OF GUNS. AND SO TRUMP'S DOJ GOT TO WORK. AND DECLARED THIS 100-YEAR-OLD. LAW IS, IMAGE -- MAGICALLY, ALL. OF A SUDDEN, UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

ALLOWING THE WAY FOR DONALD. TRUMP JUNIOR TO MAKE BIG BUCKS. BY MAILING GUNS. WE'RE STILL IN APRIL. AS THE WAR BEGINS IN IRAN, TRUMP'S INNER CIRCLE FINDS A NEW. WAY TO CASH IN. THEY CAN PLACE BETS ON. PREDICTION MARKETS OR IN FUTURES. MARKETS, BASED ON THE INSIDE. INFORMATION THEY HAVE ABOUT THE.

WAR. THIS IS ILLEGAL WAR. PROFITEERING. HOURS BEFORE TRUMP ANNOUNCES THE. FIRST IRAN CEASEFIRE, A BUNCH OF. INVESTORS, LIKELY INSIDE THE. WHITE HOUSE, PLACE APPROXIMATELY. $950 MILLION ON BETS THAT OIL. PRICES WOULD FALL. WHEN LATER THAT DAY, TRUMP. ANNOUNCED THE CEASEFIRE THAT. SENT OIL PRICES TUMBLING BY 50%,

PEOPLE GOT RICH THAT DAY. THERE'S AN AVALANCHE OF TRADES. THAT HAPPEN HOURS BEFORE TRUMP. ANNOUNCES THE CEASEFIRE. THAT CAN ONLY BE BECAUSE PEOPLE. HAD INSIDE INFORMATION. THIS PRACTICE WOULD CONTINUE TO. HAPPEN OVER AND OVER AND OVER. BY WHY DO THEY THINK THEY CAN. GET AWAY WITH THIS? WHY DOES ANYBODY THINK THEY CAN. GET AWAY WITH THIS? SO MUCH OF THIS IS ILLEGAL, RIGHT? YOU WOULD SAY TO YOURSELF, NOBODY WOULD ENGAGE IN THAT KIND. OF NAKED, ILLEGAL PRACTICE.

NOBODY WOULD AWARD CONTRACTS TO. THE KIDS, KNOWING THAT THAT. DOESN'T PASS LEGAL MUSTER. ON APRIL 10, YOU FIGURE OUT WHY. THEY THINK THEY'RE GOING TO GET. AWAY WITH IT. ON APRIL 10, DONALD TRUMP MAKES. AN EXPLICIT PROMISE THAT. EVERYBODY ENGAGED IN THIS. CORRUPTION WILL GET AWAY WITH. IT. HERE IS HIS QUOTE ON APRIL 10, AS THE PACE OF THIS CORRUPTION. INCREASES.

QUOTE, I WILL PARDON EVERYONE. WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE WHITE. HOUSE. SO NOW YOU UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE. THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT. THIS IS REPORTED ON APRIL 22 --. 27. SO WE'RE STILL IN APRIL. TRUMP WANTS TO GET ALL OF HIS. FRIENDS IN THE GRIFT NOW. SO TRUMP GIVES A NO-BID.

$7 MILLION CONTRACT TO REFURBISH. TWO FOUNTAINS NEAR THE WHITE. HOUSE, INCLUDING THE REFLECTING. POOL. WE'RE LIVING WITH THE. CONSEQUENCES OF THIS CORRUPTION. RIGHT NOW, AS WE HAVE A GREEN. REFLECTING POOL. THIS IS A COMPLETELY UNQUALIFIED. CONTRACTOR WHO IS ALREADY OVER. HIS HEAD BECAUSE HE'S INVOLVED. WITH THE BALLROOM, AND HE GETS A. NEW $17 MILLION CONTRACT. DOES IT REALLY COST $17 MILLION. TO CLEAN UP FOUNTAINS? THE ANSWER, FROM THE NATIONAL. PARK SERVICE ITSELF, IS, NO.

IN FACT, THE NATIONAL PARK. SERVICE WAS PLANNING TO BILL. THAT CONTRACT OUT FOR ONE-FIFTH. OF WHAT TRUMP GAVE IT TO HIS. FRIEND FOR. BUT IT WAS A NO-BID CONTRACT. IT JUST WENT TO TRUMP'S FRIEND. THE VALUE WAS WILDLY INFLATED. SO NOW TRUMP'S BUDDY HAS AN. EXTRA $14 MILLION. IT'S YOUR MONEY. MONEY DOESN'T GROW ON TREES.

THIS IS TAXPAYER MONEY. IT'S SUPPOSED TO COST. $3 MILLION. HE GAVE THE CONTRACTOR. $17 MILLION. WE'RE STILL IN APRIL. BIG TOBACCO HAS WANTED, FOR. YEARS, TO BREAK INTO THE. $6 BILLION-FLAVORED VAPE AND. E-CIGARETTE MARKET, BUT THE FDA, OF COURSE, HAS HAD REGULATIONS. TO SAY YOU SORT OF CAN'T RUN. BACK THIS PLAYBOOK OF THE. TOBACCO'S MARKETING TO KIDS. SO WE HAVEN'T ALLOWED THEM TO.

MARKET THESE FLAVORED VAPE. PRODUCTS, THESE BUBBLE. GUM-FLAVORED VAPE PRODUCTS. I HAVE TWO TEENAGERS. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON. THEY WERE MARKETING THESE TO. KIDS, AND THEY WEREN'T ALLOWED. TO DO IT. BUT THE TOBACCO LOBBYISTS DID. THE THING WE'VE BEEN TALKED. ABOUT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THEY MADE A $5 MILLION DONATION, AND IF YOU MAKE A $5 MILLION. DONATION, YOU GET A LUNCH WITH. THE PRESIDENT OR A DINNER WITH. THE PRESIDENT. SO THEY GET THIS LUNCH OR DINNER.

WITH THE PRESIDENT, AND THEY SAY. TO THE PRESIDENT -- JUST LIKE. THE NURSING HOME EXECUTIVES. SAID -- I WANT THE VAPE RULE TO. BE RESCINDED. SURROUNDED BY THESE BIG TOBACCO. REPRESENTATIVES, PRESIDENT. TRUMP, AT THE MOMENT, CALLS THE. FDA COMMISSIONER AND TELLS THEM. TO RESCIND THE REGULATIONS. HE CALLS UP DR. OZ -- ALL OF. THIS IS HAPPENING IMMEDIATELY --. AND TELLS HIM TO RESCIND THE.

REGULATIONS. THEN. ON FRIDAY, THE FDA ANNOUNCED. THAT IT WAS BYPASSING ALL THE. RULE MAKING TO ADOPT THE POLICY. MAKING THAT WAS ASKED FOR A WEEK. BEFORE. THE FDA COMMISSIONER RESIGNS. WE'RE NOW ON TO MAY U -- MAY. NOT ALL THE STORIES OF THE.

CORRUPTION IN THIS WHITE HOUSE. REQUIRE DEEP JOURNALISTIC DIVES. INTO OBSCURE PUBLIC RECORDS. SOMETIMES YOU CAN JUST LOG ONTO. YOUTUBE, WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE. SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION SEAN. DUFFY'S FAMILY ROAD TRIP REALITY. SHOW. WHO IS PAYING FOR THE GAS, THE. HOTELS, THE CAMERAS, FILMING HIS. VACATION? NOT DID YOU HAVY. IT IS BOEING, UNITED AIRLINES, ALL THE COMPANIES THAT SECRETARY. DUFFY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. REGULATING. GAS PRICES ARE GOING UP,

TRANSPORTATION COSTS ARE GOING. UP, AND THE SECRETARY OF. TRANSPORTATION IS RIDING IN SNOW. MOW BEALS IN MONTANA -- IN. MOBILES -- IN SMOKINGMOW BEALS. IN MONTANA. YEARS AGO THAT WOULD HAVE. RESULTED IN A CABINET MEMBER. RES. RESIGNING IN DISGRACE. BUT IN TRUMP'S WHITE HOUSE. EVERYONE HAS THEIR HAND OUT FOR.

A PAYDAY. IT'S ENCOURAGED. AND THEN FINALLY IN MAY WE. DISCOVER ANOTHER MONSTER. CORRUPTION SCHEME. THE MARKET BETS BASED ON INSIDE. INFORMATION HAVE NOT IN FACT. BEEN LIMITED TO TRUMP'S STAFF. AND FRIENDS. THE ENTIRE TIME THAT TRUMP HAS. BEEN IN OFFICE, WE DISCOVER, HE. HAS NOT BEEN PUTTING HIS MONEY. IN A BLIND TRUST. HE HAS BEEN PERSONALLY SIGNING. OFF ON THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS. IN INDIVIDUAL TRADES, NO.

PREVIOUS PRESIDENT HAS DONE. THIS. HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF HOW IT. WORKS. EARLY IN THE YEAR, TRUMP BUYS A. MILLION DOLLARS OF DELL STOCK. A COUPLE DAYS LATER FROM THE. WHITE HOUSE PODIUM HE BOOSTS THE. COMPANY, DELL, THAT HE JUST. BOUGHT STOCK IN. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER HE GIVES. DELL A $10 BILLION DEFENSE. CONTRACT WITH THE PENTAGON.

THAT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER. AGAIN. THE PRESIDENT BUYS STOCK, HE. PUBLICLY BOOSTS THE COMPANY, HE. GIVES GOVERNMENT WORK. I KNOW ALL THIS FEELS. EXHAUSTING, 500 DAYS OF. CORRUPTION. BUT WE'VE NEVER, EVER SEEN THIS. BEFORE. I ONLY LISTED, LIKE, HALF OF THE. PUBLICLY DISCLOSED INCIDENTS OF. CORRUPTION. AND WE JUST CAN'T PRETEND THAT. THIS IS NORMAL. I'M GIVING A HALF AN HOUR TO.

THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS, SERIOUS CRISIS, THE PAY-TO-PLAY. SCHEMES, THE PARDONS FOR DONORS, THE CONTRACTS FOR FRIENDS, THE. FAVORS FOR TRUMP'S CHILDREN, THE. USE OF INSIDE INFORMATION TO. MAKE MONEY. THIS IS NOT A DISCONNECTED. SERIES OF SCANDALS. THIS IS A SYSTEM. GOVERNMENT IS SUPPOSED TO SERVE. US. IT IS SUPPOSED TO LOWER COSTS, IT'S SUPPOSED TO PROTECT OUR. FAMILIES, STRENGTHEN OUR.

SCHOOLS, MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR. PEOPLE. BUT DONALD TRUMP BELIEVES THAT. GOVERNMENT EXISTS TO SERVE HIM, TO MAKE HIM RICHER, TO PROTECT. HIS FRIENDS, TO REWARD HIS. DONORS. THIS IS WHY HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME. FOR YOU. HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO SOLVE. REAL PROBLEMS. BECAUSE HE'S MAKING MONEY FOR. HIMSELF AND HIS FRIENDS, AND. HE'S BETTING THAT THE CORRUPTION. WILL BE SO CONSTANT THAT WE STOP. HEARING IT. THAT THE OUTRAGE WILL JUST TURN.

INTO EXHAUSTION AND THE. EXHAUSTION WILL JUST TURN INTO. ACCEPTANCE. WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN. BECAUSE ONCE CORRUPTION BECOMES. NORMAL, IT BECOMES PERMANENT. THE WHITE HOUSE IS NOT A. BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. THE PRESIDENCY IS NOT A LICENSE. TO STEAL FROM THE AMERICAN. PEOPLE. THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED. STATES DOESN'T EXIST TO MAKE. DONALD TRUMP RICH. IT BELONGS TO THE AMERICAN. PEOPLE. AND AFTER 500 DAYS OF CORR N.

CORRUPTION, DEMOCRATS AND. REPUBLICANS IN THI.
