I could keep going.
Over and over last night, white supremacist groups and neo-Nazi groups in this country rallied around that visual.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

That is indeed good news.

Senator Rubio, I want to talk to you about a topic that I think is going to be real trouble for you and for U.S.
matched
national security interests, at least for the first few minutes of my time, and that's the growing personal financial entanglement of President Trump, his family, and Middle East governments.
matched
I'll give you an example of what I'm talking about.
matched
For nearly two
matched
eight years, the Trump Organization has been pursuing a real estate deal to build a hotel complex in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
matched
During President Trump's first term, the Trump Organization actually voluntarily committed to refrain from pursuing real estate deals with foreign companies, especially those that are backed by foreign governments.
matched
And so the deal didn't go through, and then it remained stalled for the entirety of the Biden administration.
matched
And then magically,
matched
30 days after the November election, Saudi Arabia's biggest construction company that's affiliated with the government announced that the deal was going forward alongside an additional $200 million deal for a Trump property in Oman.
matched
Now, it used to be that somebody with these big financial business interests would come into government and take actions like setting up a blind trust or divestment in order to make sure there was no connection between
matched
their personal financial interests and the business they were conducting in government.
matched
But President Trump has just done the opposite, right?
matched
Over the last eight years while he was in office and since he's been out of office, he and his family have become more deeply dependent on revenue from governments in the Middle East.
matched
During his last presidency, Middle East interests sent about $10 million to Trump properties.
matched
After he left office, Trump's son in law, Jared Kushner, who was his primary Middle East envoy, was handed $2 billion in investment by the Saudis, even though a Saudi investment board said the investment was a bad business decision.
matched
That investment actually comes up for renewal in 2026, giving the Saudis massive leverage over the Trump family.
