A report released Thursday reveals that the Trump administration has been using the United States’ 250th birthday as an opportunity to shovel more than $100 million in federal contracts and grants to “a network of politicized entities under the control of Trump administration officials and political allies.”
The report, produced jointly by researchers at Public Citizen and the Revolving Door Project, reveals how Freedom 250, an organization created by Trump loyalists last year after a failed effort to take over the congressionally-authorized America 250, has been raising money to create a “Trumpified” semiquincentennial celebration.
