Default Crime Syndicate:TRUMP Gets $14MIL Bribe From Big Oil-NOT $1BIL He Wanted

TRUMP Gets Record Gift From Big Oil But Far Less Than $1BIL He Wanted to Scrap Environmental Rules

Ex-president has received $14.1m oil and gas industry making it his fourth-biggest source of cash


The Guardian 18 OCT 2024



Donald Trump has raised more money from the oil and gas industry than at this stage of his previous campaigns for the US presidency


With a surge of fossil fuel funding coming in the six months since he directly requested $1bn from oil executives and then promised he would scrap environmental rules if elected.



While the Republican nominee hasnt quite managed to get to that $1bn figure, he has received $14.1m from the oil and gas industry in the period up to 31 August, donation filings show. This is more than he got from the industry at the same stage of his presidential campaigns in 2016 and 2020.

Support from just a handful of oil executives has become vital to the overall Trump campaign, with Kelcy Warren, the billionaire chief executive of the pipeline operator Energy Transfer, giving nearly $6m to help elect the former president and Timothy Dunn, boss of the Texas-based oil firm CrownQuest, handing $5m to a Trump-aligned Super Pac.

Harold Hamm, another billionaire and the founder of Continental Resources, has helped push a further $1.2m to the campaign. Hamm has reportedly hit the phones to drum up industry support for Trump, whose campaign mantra has been ?drill, baby, drill?. ?We?ve got to do this because it?s the most important election in our lifetime,? Hamm has said.

The oil and gas industry is now Trump?s fourth-biggest source of cash, up six places from the 2020 election cycle, according to an analysis of donations to candidates and their affiliated groups by OpenSecrets.

Further, more recent Federal Election Commission filings emerged this week, which are still being fully analyzed.
