  • Almost three dozen people tapped by Donald Trump to serve in his White House donated to his campaign or to groups that supported his election.

The article from Rolling Stone discusses how numerous donors to Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign have been appointed to key roles within his administration, highlighting potential conflicts of interest and the influence of money in politics. It details how these donors, who have contributed significant sums, have been placed in positions that could benefit their personal or business interests. Examples include a donor who was appointed to a commission overseeing federal election integrity despite having no relevant experience, and another who was given a role in the Department of Energy after contributing to Trump's campaign. The piece raises concerns about the ethics of such appointments, suggesting that these donors might be using their financial support to gain access and influence over policy decisions, thereby potentially undermining the democratic process.
