OGE Filings Show Trump Bought At Least $82 Million in Bonds Over Late-August–October Window

The newly posted ethics filings list bond buys in broad ranges, fueling questions about oversight and potential conflicts.

Overview

  • Public disclosures detail more than 175 transactions between Aug. 28 and Oct. 2, with range estimates that could push the total above $337 million.
  • Most reported holdings are municipal and other public-agency bonds issued by states, counties, school districts and similar entities.
  • Corporate debt purchases include Broadcom, Qualcomm, Meta Platforms, Home Depot, CVS Health, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase.
  • Intel bonds were acquired after the U.S. government, directed by Trump, took a stake in the chipmaker, a timing that has drawn renewed scrutiny.
  • The White House says a third‑party institution manages the portfolio without involvement by Trump or his family, and Trump separately asked the Justice Department to examine JPMorgan’s past ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
