America250 Money Maze | Lawrence News

As America gears up for its 250th birthday, two competing groups—America250 and Freedom 250—are cashing in on patriotic merchandise, but with murky finances and little transparency. America250, a congressional commission, sells everything from t-shirts to $8,000 paintings, while Freedom 250, Trump’s LLC, quietly funnels profits with no clear accounting. Lawmakers suspect $10 million in taxpayer funds may have been diverted from America250 to Freedom 250, sparking demands for donor lists and spending reports. Freedom 250 calls the scrutiny partisan, but with the anniversary looming, the lack of oversight leaves the public wondering who’s really profiting from the celebration.
