Congressional stock trading. First Family crypto schemes. A secondhand jumbo jet,\" Buttigieg wrote.\nHe added, \"These are not academic concerns. They hurt all of us – and they are related to the reasons we can’t have common-sense outcomes that most Americans actually agree on.\"\nIn the video, Buttigieg said, \"Our economy is unfair because our politics is unfair,\" pointing to issues including corporate spending in elections, lawmakers trading stocks while shaping policy and concerns over presidential financial interests.\nHe also criticized congressional redistricting, presidential immunity rulings and policies he said weaken public institutions.\n\"This is not an academic concern. This hurts us,\" Buttigieg said. \"This is why things aren’t working properly.\"\nHe argued that political problems affect everyday issues, including costs for consumers and education outcomes, adding, \"This is why we can’t have nice things. But it doesn’t have to be this way.\"\nEarlier, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) accused Trump of corruption after financial disclosures showed he generated at least $1.4 billion from digital asset ventures in 2025. \nShe argued that Congress should restrict elected officials, senior administration figures and their families from profiting from crypto-related businesses.\nAnthony Scaramucci also criticized Washington’s political climate, accusing Trump supporters of excusing unethical behavior. \nHe said corruption concerns had damaged public trust and contributed to perceptions of a \"two-tiered system\" in the country.\nFormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton separately pointed to reports involving Trump’s stock holdings and government contracts, calling them evidence of \"unprecedented corruption.\" \nShe highlighted reports alleging Trump purchased millions of dollars in Axon stock before ICE pursued a contract involving the company and referenced a reported $500 million no-bid contract tied to a White House ballroom project.\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nPhoto Courtesy: Gregory Reedo on Shutterstock.com\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":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,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.45.2","shortVersion":"4.45.2","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/2651212490","isCrawlerRequest":true}
