The Washington Post just obtained the internal donor list for President Trump’s ballroom, and there’s one big red flag I wasn’t expecting. It involves Julio Herrera Velutini, an international banker indicted in 2022 on bribery charges tied to Puerto Rico’s former governor.

After the 2024 election, his daughter gave $3.5 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. His charges were reduced to a misdemeanor in August 2025.

The next month she pledged $2.5 million to the ballroom and paid the first $835,000 in October. In January, Trump pardoned him. That’s just the latest revelation.

The other ballroom donor info shows $333 million steered into a White House account the president directly controls, with at least $77 million coming from donors who asked to stay hidden.

About half the money came from companies or executives with federal contracts. This whole thing is rotten to the core. wapo.st/4yiUDPx

Why are they all not guilty of bribery? Quid pro quo - for the millions or billions they got in return through contracts or legislation or pardons, etc
