Self-dealing is when officials use public power in ways that benefit their own finances or those of their family and associates. During Donald Trump's second term, that has included stock trades made shortly before government action, a family crypto business, a privately funded White House ballroom, and business deals by relatives serving as envoys.
We compare those trades and deals with what the government did next. Trading data comes from the president's own financial disclosures and the reporting cited on each receipt.
