SECRET DOCS Expose Trump's Ballroom PAY-TO-PLAY Scheme?!?! - Legal AF
Public Citizen Co-President Rob Weissman returns to talk to Court Accountability Action's Lisa Graves as part of their ongoing dialogue about corruption and the Trump administration. Today they discuss the protest outside of the party Larry Ellison and his son threw at the Institute for Peace to give Trump another made-up award as they seek to consolidate their takeover of CBS with the addition of CNN through the proposed Skydance/Paramount merger with Warner Brothers.
They also discuss new documents Public Citizen has obtained revealing the efforts by the Trump team to keep the public in the dark about the million-dollar donors to the White House ballroom monstrosity through anonymity agreements which attempt to block transparency and shield any quid pro quo activities. - 05/02/2026.
