Trump Purchased up to $51 Million in Bonds at the End of 2025, Including Netflix and Warner Bros. Investments
President Trump disclosed $51 million in debt securities tied to Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery amid federal merger review, raising ethics and conflict-of-interest questions.
- President Donald Trump bought up to $51 million in debt securities between mid-November and late December, according to a White House disclosure filed with the Office of Government Ethics.
- Records show purchases occurred between Nov. 14 and Dec. 19 after Netflix announced plans to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, and President Donald Trump said he would be involved in regulatory decisions.
- The filings show four purchases of Netflix bonds in A$250,000 to A$500,000 ranges on December 12 and December 16, totaling up to $2 million.
- Experts and ethicists flagged potential conflicts, and the White House said holdings are managed in discretionary accounts, with `All investment decisions made entirely by independent managers,' President Trump explained.
- Any merger requires federal regulatory approval, and Netflix's $82.7 billion bid will likely face scrutiny as it reports fourth-quarter earnings Tuesday.
