Senators Warren and Bennet Question $1 Million Tech Donations to Trump's Inaugural Fund
Jan 17, 2025, 06:05 PM
Senators Elizabeth Warren and Michael Bennet have raised concerns over million-dollar donations made by tech industry leaders, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, to President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural fund. The senators suggest that these $1 million contributions, which also include donations from companies like Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon, and Uber, as well as personal contributions from executives like Apple's Tim Cook, are an attempt to influence the incoming administration and avoid regulatory scrutiny. Altman, who donated $1 million personally, shared a letter from the senators on social media, pointing out that he had not received similar inquiries for his donations to Democratic causes. The senators have requested responses to their inquiries by January 31, 2025, seeking details on the decision-making process behind these donations and any communications with Trump's transition team.
