President Trump has released a list of 46 donors who contributed to his transition to power, a year after pledging to do so. The list includes several billionaires and individuals who later received appointments in the administration. The transition team reported raising just over $14 million, spending $13.7 million, but did not disclose individual donation amounts. The release follows criticism from watchdog groups about the lack of transparency and concerns over potential conflicts of interest, as the Trump transition declined to follow previous norms requiring prompt disclosure and donation limits. Calls are growing for Congress to mandate greater transparency in future presidential transitions.
