Dems Press Trump On Where Millions Of Dollars Went For Now-Dissolved Library Fund

Democrats are pressing President Donald Trump for answers on what happened to tens of millions of dollars in settlements that were supposed to go toward his presidential library fund, but are now missing.

Four Big Tech companies – Paramount, ABC, Meta and X – paid out millions of dollars in settlements in late 2024 and early 2025 after Trump sued them, and that money was supposed to go toward The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Fund, Inc. But the president dissolved the fund in December, and in subsequent letters to lawmakers, none of those four companies could or would say where their money went.

In a new letter sent to Trump on Monday, lawmakers said as much as $63 million is now missing, all of which is required by law to go toward charitable purposes.

“The companies do not know or are unwilling to share their information about what happened to the millions of dollars given to the Fund,” reads the letter, signed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.).

“This leaves the public completely in the dark about what happened to the Fund, whether there was any money in it when it was dissolved, what happened to that money upon the Fund’s dissolution, and why a second entity with the same purpose as the Fund was created in the first place,” they wrote. “This is a deeply troubling set of questions, particularly given the vast tide of corruption and self-enrichment that has occurred during your Administration."

The lawmakers give Trump until May 1 to answer a series of questions about where that money is and why he launched a second nonprofit, the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation, Inc., with the same stated purpose as his now-defunct fund.

OK

Let's go Cav's.

Stick it to the Raptors.

The brilliance behind trump's war with Iran......

1. You can't lose if you don't have specific goals.

2. In order to confuse your enemy you must first confuse yourself.

3. If you don't know what you're doing neither does your enemy.

Just wondering out loud here. If spending money on cow fart capturing assistance for farmers is better than spending on research .... I wonder if the scope of the study actually includes research into the best and most efficient way to capture cow farts? Because who else is going to do it? Industry drives innovation ... but there is no great demand for cow fart capturing services/devices. Spending money helping farmers capture cow farts inefficiently or ineffectively helps no-one in the long run.

Just an idle thought reading the back and forth. Bottom line is I would bet that a miniscule fraction of the budget was anything related to cow farts. But it sure does make a nice headline.

This was a weak draft class for DTs . There is no Dexter Lawrence in the draft

Hendrickson was coming off back surgery. Plus hes 32 years old. Hes not at Myles Garrett level, so why pay him all that $$$. ? DEs are important to a team , but how many wins
Have the Browns had in Garrett's tenure ...? 54 , 55.
When your DE is your teams highest paid player, you aren't wining alot .

You feel since trump acts like a king you can be the King of dawgtalkers?

I officially denounce your decree!

No means NO. Now stop.

You say a lot of things. Try reminding yourself that I don't take orders from you. And that whole "humping your leg" thing? Like I said, I won't be fulfilling any of your sexual fantasies and I don't really take me being a part of them in a positive light. This is how you act when the evidence proves you are wrong. Ignore it and attack the messenger. How trumpian of you.

Bengals are idiots as always. They could have drafted the best DT in the draft and had him locked in for 5 years. Just plain stupid.

Exactly. It's impossible to tell what is a lie and what is the truth. Now the consequences of that when he lies about every day things isn't so bad yet still undermines whether we can trust anything he says. But when the topic is war those lies can result in some terrible consequences. We're already at the point that the entire globe doesn't trust anything that comes out of his mouth. And the long term impact of that is even more severe.

What they have learned is no long term deal or agreement with the U.S. can be trusted. Here is at least a partial list of agreements the U.S. had made that trump has broken...............

[Paris Climate Agreement]: Trump withdrew the U.S. from the global climate accord for a second time in 2025.

[United Nations Entities]: A directive was signed in early 2026 to withdraw from 66 international organizations, including 31 UN entities and 35 other organizations, in a move to cease funding and involvement in entities seen as counter to U.S. interests.

[World Health Organization (WHO)]: The U.S. withdrew from the WHO.

[UN Human Rights Council and UNESCO]: The U.S. formally exited these bodies.

[UNRWA (Palestinian Refugee Aid)]: Funding was halted for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.

Trade and Regional Deals Modified or Terminated

[Tariffs and Trade Deals]: Trump initiated a 90-day pause on trade negotiations in mid-2025, substituting them with new tariff rates for major partners including the E.U., Canada, Japan, and South Korea, after the Supreme Court struck down earlier IEEPA tariffs.

[UK Technology and Prosperity Deal]: This deal was suspended in December 2025.

[USAID Activities]: The administration has moved to dissolve or severely curtail the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

The entire globe has learned that the word of the U.S. can never be trusted again because with a single election it can all be broken.

That's a lot more than a little "short term discomfort."

I said... quit humping my leg.

I was definitely writing with a bit of snark, so yes some was a bit overboard.

Personally, I don't mind a bit of short-term discomfort (price of oil and it's effect on other prices) if the reasoning and long-term benefit is there. So, to me, the issue is 100% why this whole thing was kicked off, and no amount of tactical execution can make up for an unclear or nonexistent objective. I agree with you on armchairing conflicts... except for the 'why'. And in this case critics don't even have to use the benefit of hindsight to question why we're attacking... it's been mixed messages since the aftermath of the first strikes on the nuclear sites.

That's your imagination. I understand that you have your fantasies but I will not be fulfilling that one for you. A little testy this morning aren't you?

This is how you always act when the evidence shows you are wrong. You have one of two M.O's. You either ignore the things you have no way to defend or you lash out by attacking the one who provided the evidence. I'm pretty sure they make medication for that.

Like, seriously dude. Quit humping my leg.

Go outside or something.

Yet I have already shown you that is a total lie. You may have simply been mistaken the first time but after me showing you that it's a lie? Now it's intentional.................

The only provision of the legislation that specifically addresses "enteric methane emissions from ruminants" comes under the heading of agricultural conservation. The legislation allocates almost $8.5 billion for all types of conservation over four years, with the agriculture secretary "prioritizing proposals that utilize diet and feed management to reduce enteric methane emissions from ruminants."

In all likelihood, cattle-related projects would account for a small fraction of that $8.5 billion.

You know what. This is way over your head. Besides that, it doesn't matter that I've clarified exactly what I meant for, now, the third day. You've gone from ignoring intent to telling me I was lying and really want socialism for farmers and now, back to the beginning.


I'll do this one last time, so you can cry about it yet again.

Spending 8B to study cow farts... Baaaaaad.

Spending that same 8B, if you're in a rush to spend 8B, on helping small farms adopt methane capturing/prevention systems... Better.


But... in your world. I lied and am WRONG.

And you are RIGHT. Because you are always RIGHT. Yes, even when telling other humans how they really feel or what they really meant.


And since this section is really yours, and yours alone, to repent, I'll include "FATE loves socialism for farmers!" in all of my posts the rest of the day.


Now, go tell your wife and dog you've won another argument on DT today so you can get your gold star!


Edit: FATE loves socialism for farmers!

No it's not. Context is an easy concept. Yet you still don't get it.

You didn't say anything about "if you have to spend 8 billion dollars."

Once again, here is your direct quote.............


Maybe if you read it real slow that would help?

But that was before trump set Iran's nuclear program back many years if not decades, remember? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Once again you come here and do nothing but lie.


And claiming I'm cheering for them is yet another lie.


Why must you constantly come here to spread your right wing propaganda? Oh I know, because you can't defend trump so you attack me. Typical extreme right wing tactics.

I'm not rooting for Iran. I didn't root for Iraq either but I thought going there and starting a war was wrong. I get it. You think opposing America going to war means you support the enemy. You can't wrap your brain around the idea that supporting our troops and supporting the mission they were sent on is two different things. It's a foreign concept to you.

What I don't like is being lied to about the reason for war. What I don't like is being the worlds police. Trump specifically stated he would not start any wars.

https://www.c-span.org/clip/campaign-2024/user-clip-trump-no-wars/5138281

In June of 2025 he said those air strikes set Iran's nuclear program back "many years if not decades". Only eight months later he claimed Iran was less than a month away from having a nuclear weapon.

He is a habitual liar and here you are calling me out and not him. That's hilarious!

You do realize that what you posted as "your reasoning" for a war in Iran is nothing close to the reason trump claims he went to war there, right?

So rather than call trump on all of the times he has lied about this war and even lying about the fact he would not start any wars somehow you think it's my fault because I call him on his BS? So that means you just come here and make up lies about me instead? So you're just like trump. Murica! Freedumb! Dr. Jesus!

We are not the world's police.

No country is a threat to the US.

Getting dragged into regime change and regional disputes does nothing for the US except create more problems.

Spending there and disrupting the global economy is not helping us.

How about dealing with making life here better. Like healthcare, economic issues, education, debt, and the kitchen table.

Nothing was gained from wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and now Iran. Let them deal with their own problems.

Let's work on our own backyard.

IF you insist on spending 8 billion dollars.

This
Is
Not
That
Hard

The "if" you use was in reference to "If we cared to make proper use of 8B." It must be context you're having an issue with.

Not if we should have 8B. Not if it should be done away with. It was used in the context of the way the money should be used properly. Your lame azz crap isn't working for anyone who made it past the fourth grade.

Mutually assured destruction reduces the chance of a deliberate full-scale nuclear first strike, but it does not make nuclear proliferation harmless.

North Korea already showed that nuclear weapons can weaken deterrence, embolden conventional aggression, complicate alliance commitments, and destabilize regions even without any bomb being used.

Iran would be more dangerous because it sits in a far more connected and volatile region, where one new nuclear state could trigger an arms race and raise the odds of coercion or miscalculation.

No, we'll never be to a point where "Iran can't make a nuke". That's basically impossible. But pushing to stay as close as possible will be an ongoing task for what seems like may be an eternity.

A nuclear-armed Iran would trigger a regional arms race like the world has never imagined. You think that area is a powder keg now?? And, in Iran's case, retaliation fear doesn't freeze bad actors; it just lets them play dirtier below the red line.
