Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is raising concerns regarding the use of corporate donations to bankroll President Donald Trump’s expensive vanity projects in the White House. \nOn Sunday, in a post on X, Warren called out tech giants Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) for bankrolling Trump’s “gold-encrusted” ballroom, which is set to replace the White House’s recently demolished East Wing.\nShe added that a “bunch of other companies” with active business before the Trump administration were also contributing, prompting concerns about corporate bribery and favoritism.\nSee Also: Trump’s Bond Buying Spree Surges Past $82 Million Since August\n“They're not donating to Trump's ballroom out of the goodness of their hearts,” she said, noting that “it sure looks like bribery,” aimed at accruing special favors from the administration.\n“The obvious question is, what are these corporate donors expecting in return for their money?” she asked, adding that she’s launched an investigation into this, citing “potential corruption” tied to the funding.\nThe companies named by Warren did not immediately respond to Benzinga’s request for a comment on this matter. This story will be updated as soon as we receive a response. \nWarren has called out the administration’s corruption and corporate bribery several times in recent months, starting with the SEC's approval of Brazilian meat processing company JBS SA (OTC:JBSAY) to list on the New York Stock Exchange, despite its history of corruption, price fixing, and safety violations.\nShe noted that the company’s subsidiary, Pilgrim's Pride, had contributed $5 million to Trump’s inauguration fund, which was the single largest contribution. \nRecently, she also accused Paramount Global (NASDAQ:PARA) of “bribery in plain sight” for donating $16 million to Trump’s Presidential Library. This comes ahead of the company’s merger with Skydance, which required the administration’s approval. \nTrump has also come under criticism for accepting a 24-karat gold-plated plaque from Apple CEO Tim Cook early this year, before sparing the company from 100% tariffs imposed on semiconductors and chips.\nRead More: \nPhoto Courtesy: Maverick Pictures via Shutterstock","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"-1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.35.9","shortVersion":"4.35.9","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2584618986","isCrawlerRequest":true}
