Buried within a mountain of financial disclosures made public recently is a potentially multi-million-dollar purchase made by President Donald Trump between August and October, a purchase that has left some critics stunned by its lack of news coverage.

"In a normal administration, this would be a huge scandal,” wrote journalist and political commentator Molly Jong-Fast in a social media post on Tuesday on X.


The purchase was, according to a report Tuesday from The New York Times, for between $1 million and $5 million worth of corporate debt of the technology company Intel. The disclosure was published amid the Trump administration’s decision to secure a more than $11 billion stake in the company, making the U.S. government hold 10% of the company’s stock.
