OGE Filings Show Trump Bought At Least $82 Million in Bonds Over Five Weeks

Public forms list only ranges, leaving the scale of the president’s bond exposure unclear.

Overview

  • Ethics office disclosures detail more than 175 purchases made between Aug. 28 and Oct. 2.
  • Based on the reported ranges, the maximum possible value of the bond buys exceeds $337 million.
  • Most newly reported holdings are municipal bonds tied to states, counties, school districts and other public entities.
  • Corporate debt purchases include Broadcom, Qualcomm, Meta, Home Depot, CVS Health, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan, with the release following Trump’s request that DOJ investigate JPMorgan’s Epstein ties.
  • The filings also show Intel bond purchases after the U.S. government took a stake in the company, and the administration says a third-party institution manages the portfolio.
