What happens when political donations and presidential power collide? | FT #shorts

Some have won legal relief. Others have been pardoned for their crimes, or benefited from policy changes. But what unites them is donations made to the favoured groups of President Donald Trump. ⁠

At least 30 individuals or companies that have collectively donated more than $116mn to Trump’s causes have received benefits or advantages from White House moves, according to FT analysis. Sometimes, the administration acted just days after donations were made.⁠
