If you made it this far, let us tell you about this list: It’s the 37 donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom — and according [[link removed]] to our friends at Public Citizen, two-thirds of the corporate donors on this list have federal contracts.

That's an enormous ethics issue that can't be ignored.

President Trump has made it crystal clear that the White House ballroom is a top priority. And it sure looks like these multi-million-dollar donations are helping corporate donors buy influence.

Here’s the kicker: These corporate donors’ government contracts were worth nearly $43 billion just last year and almost $279 billion over the past five years. One company alone has raked in more than $190 billion.

Many of them are also facing major federal investigations — antitrust, labor violations and SEC cases — involving some of the biggest names in tech, defense and finance.

So when these billionaires and federal contractors bankroll presidential vanity projects, they aren’t doing it out of kindness. They’re buying access. They’re buying influence. And it sure seems like they’re expecting something in return.

CREW believes that our government should serve the people — not just powerful and wealthy interests like these ballroom donors.

John, if you believe in transparent, accountable, ethical government — not government sold off to the highest bidder — then please, donate to help CREW continue our work exposing the truth, uncovering hidden influence, and holding the powerful to account → [[link removed]]
