U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, a Democratic member of the Senate, accused former President Donald Trump of engaging in \u201cunprecedented corruption\u201d through a secret investment deal with an entity linked to the United Arab Emirates, stating that the White House under Trump had turned into a \u201cnever-ending corruption machine.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a speech delivered on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Murphy said recent media reports revealed that an investment firm linked to UAE National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan had purchased a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial, the Trump family\u2019s cryptocurrency company, just days before Trump\u2019s inauguration. The deal was reportedly valued at approximately $500 million.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murphy added that the deal\u2014signed \u201cin complete secrecy,\u201d according to his remarks\u2014would result in at least $187 million being transferred directly to the Trump family, along with no less than $31 million to the family of Steve Witkoff, Trump\u2019s Middle East adviser and a partner in the venture.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The senator argued that these investments coincided in a manner that \u201ccannot be separated\u201d from the Trump administration\u2019s decision to grant the UAE an unprecedented deal to purchase advanced artificial intelligence chips worth nearly $1 billion, despite bipartisan security warnings in the United States about the risk of this technology being transferred to China through Emirati cooperation networks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murphy noted that previous U.S. administrations, both Republican and Democratic, had refrained from selling such chips to the UAE due to \u201cclear national security concerns,\u201d but that Trump approved the deal \u201cagainst the advice of his senior national security advisers.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In his speech, Murphy stated: \u201cThe U.S. president receives secret payments from foreign governments and then grants them privileges Washington had previously refused to approve,\u201d describing the matter as containing \u201celements of bribery\u201d and potentially amounting to \u201ccriminal conduct.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He further described the situation inside the White House by saying: \u201cNever in the history of the United States has a president used his power so openly and repeatedly to enrich himself,\u201d stressing that \u201cthe rule of law will return,\u201d and that those he described as \u201cinvolved in selling influence for money\u201d would ultimately face accountability.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
