Ethics Filings Show Trump Bought About $103–104 Million in Bonds Since January

The disclosures revive conflict-of-interest questions because Trump kept his assets outside a blind trust.

Overview

  • Office of Government Ethics documents detail roughly 600 to 690 bond purchases beginning January 21 and continuing through early August.
  • The acquisitions span corporate, state and municipal debt, including issuers such as Meta, Qualcomm, Home Depot, T‑Mobile US, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo.
  • The public reports provide only broad dollar ranges for each transaction and list no sales, so the totals reflect minimum values.
  • A senior White House official says independent managers following index-based programs executed the trades rather than the president or his family.
  • Some reporting highlights timing overlaps between bank bond holdings and internal deliberations on Federal Reserve leadership, drawing added scrutiny.
