“The Corruption Chronicles: Donald Trump’s profiteering from public service, by the numbers,” compiles two dozen statistics and factoids that illuminate the most concerning ways the president has taken the selling of access to staggering new heights and exploited the presidency for personal gain in ways that defy both the intent and the letter of Article I of the Constitution.

“President Trump’s unprecedented disregard for the ethical responsibilities that come with being a public official degrades the office of the presidency and raises significant concerns about the threat of corruption,” said Issue One Founder and CEO Nick Penniman. “The evidence is clear that the second Trump administration is a powder keg of corruption scandals, influence-peddling, and profiteering from public service.
