Trump Corruption Message
from The Weekend Hosted by Jackie Alemany, Jonathan Capehart, Eugene Daniels, Rep. Greg Casar, Hannah Stauss, Sarah Parker, Kendall Scudder
October 17, 2026, 8 AM; Organizers say nearly 3,000 events will take place in all 50 states across the country focused on early voting and turnout. It comes in this final stretch ahead of the midterm elections as Democrats are increasingly invoking corruption as part of their final pitch to voters. It follows a week of turmoil for the White House as Kimberly Guilfoyle, the now embattled former U.S. Ambassador, resigned following allegations of corruption including asking a Trump donor to pay her massive credit card bill in exchange for access to the Trump White House. Additionally, there was the reporting that a member of the administration ordered federal financial regulators to retract a referral that flagged possibly suspicious oil trades worth billions of dollars made just before Trump announced he was backing away from strikes on Iran back on March 23, according to people familiar with the matter. The agency declined to comment on the report. Rep. Greg Casar joined The Weekend to discuss the trend of corruption within the Trump Administration.
