Donald Trump’s extensive financial trades draw Wall Street and DOJ scrutiny

Wall Street analysts have noted more than 3,700 financial transactions linked to former President Donald Trump, reigniting concerns about potential conflicts of interest that arose during his time in the White House.

The U.S. Department of Justice is also investigating large bets placed on oil‑related futures and prediction markets that targeted Iran, made shortly before key announcements by Trump. investigators are tracing these investments to determine whether they involved illicit leaks from the White House.

Both lines of inquiry focus on whether Trump’s private financial activities intersected with official policy decisions, raising questions about the separation between his business interests and presidential responsibilities.
