      <title>Trump buys $82m in bonds since late August, disclosures show</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330445011/trump-buys-82m-in-bonds-since-late-august-disclosures-show</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;US President Donald Trump bought at least $82 million in corporate and municipal bonds from late August to early October, including new investments in sectors benefiting from his policies, financial disclosures made public on Saturday showed.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the forms released by the US Office of Government Ethics, Trump carried out more than 175 financial purchases from August 28 through October 2.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The disclosures, made under a 1978 transparency law called the Ethics in Government Act, do not list exact amounts for each purchase, only providing a broad range.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The maximum total value of the bond purchases exceeded $337 million, according to the filings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most of the assets listed in Saturday’s disclosures consist of bonds issued by municipalities, states, counties, school districts and other entities with ties to public agencies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trump’s new bond investments span several industries, including sectors that have already benefited, or are benefiting, from his administration’s policy changes, such as financial deregulation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Corporate bonds acquired by Trump include offerings from chipmakers such as Broadcom and Qualcomm; tech companies such as Meta Platforms; retailers such as Home Depot and CVS Health; and Wall Street banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Purchases of the debt of investment banks in late August included bonds of JPMorgan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Friday, Trump asked the US Justice Department to investigate JPMorgan over its ties to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bank has said it regrets its past ties with Epstein and did not help him commit “heinous acts”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trump also acquired Intel bonds after the US government, under Trump’s direction, acquired a stake in the company.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The administration has said before that Trump has continued to file mandatory disclosures about his investments but that neither he nor his family has a role in running the portfolio, which is managed by a third-party financial institution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trump, who became wealthy in the real estate sector before entering politics, has previously said that he placed his companies into a trust overseen by his children.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A disclosure filed in August indicated that Trump had purchased more than $100 million in bonds since returning to the presidency on January 20.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trump also submitted his annual disclosure form in June, which indicated that income from his various ventures still ultimately goes to him, raising concerns of potential conflicts of interest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In that annual disclosure, which appeared to cover the 2024 calendar year, Trump reported more than $600 million in income from cryptocurrencies, golf properties, licensing and other ventures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It also showed Trump’s push into crypto had added substantially to his wealth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall, the president’s June disclosure reported assets worth at least $1.6 billion, according to a Reuters calculation at the time.&lt;/p&gt;
