White House defends Trump ethics amid $1.2bn crypto windfall in 2025

Alleged bias toward autonomous shuttles sparks Beltline oversight requests

A Midtown complaint alleges the Atlanta Beltline study biased toward autonomous shuttles after Beep introduced TYLin as “partners,” with TYLin’s report recommending autonomous buses as the backbone. Mayor Dickens cited this unfinished study to pause Eastside light-rail, while other Beltline segments remain unresolved; Beep’s ATL Spoke pilot is moving forward with public funding. Beltline officials deny wrongdoing, saying the work was exploratory, but city council members are calling for investigation and potential Inspector General review.

Trump’s Golf Weekend Sparks Ethics Scrutiny Over Conflicts

Trump spent the weekend at LIV Golf events at his Sterling, Virginia club and at Trump National Doral in Miami, sparking ethics concerns that the presidency could be enriching the Trump business empire. Critics say staging tournaments at his own properties and the Saudi-backed LIV Golf ties blur lines between office and private interests, with questions about how much money the family stands to gain. The White House says assets are managed by his children, but experts and opponents are calling for congressional oversight amid broader debates about sportswashing and U.S. ties to Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Trump seeks 90-day pause to settle $10B IRS lawsuit, fueling ethics concerns

Trump asks for a 90-day pause to settle his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over leaked tax returns, a move critics say would let him negotiate with an administration he controls and raise conflict-of-interest concerns. The suit stems from 2017 disclosures by Booz Allen contractor Charles Littlejohn and related media coverage, using a disputed damages formula and the two-year statute of limitations; opponents say it should be dismissed or blocked by ethics rules or the Emoluments Clause, with Democracy Forward filing an amicus brief, and Trump has related damage claims against federal investigations.
