HuffPo: Trump Bought Stock In UFC's Parent Company As He Promoted White House Fight
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump purchased stock in the company that will receive a fortune in publicity thanks to his decision to promote an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on the White House South Lawn next month.
Trump purchased between $15,001 and $50,000 of stock of TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of UFC, on March 25, according to a HuffPost review of his May 12 financial disclosure filing.
“Grifting has always been an issue in Donald Trump’s presidency, but now the mask is off,” said Jordan Libowitz with the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. “Using the White House to promote a company whose stock you bought while promoting it is one of the worst conflicts of interest you could imagine. The agenda of this administration seems to start and stop with how to make Donald Trump richer.”
