Democrats Claim Freedom250 Donor Deception Ties to Trump-Linked 250th Celebration

Democrats on the House Natural Resources Committee released an interim report accusing Freedom250 of misleading donors who believed they were supporting America250, including sharing Freedom250’s routing numbers with donors intended to contribute to America250. The report, titled “From Vanity to Insanity,” argues the project hijacked the semiquincentennial to push Christian nationalist, Trump-aligned aims and describes fundraising abuses and nonprofit manipulation that could constitute fraud, though prosecutors have not declared a crime established.
