Democrats accused U.S. President Donald Trump of corruption on Friday after major stock market trades made in his name were revealed, although his son denied wrongdoing.
“Presidential corruption is a national security disaster,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren wrote on X .
Warren mentioned buying shares of Nvidia, the maker of advanced chips used by artificial intelligence companies.
Trump allowed the company to sell products to China, causing its stock price to temporarily rise.
Warren also wrote: “Trump brought the NVIDIA CEO to China to lobby Xi Jinping to buy advanced artificial intelligence chips, despite the threat it posed to U.S. national security.” “It turns out that Trump also purchased millions of dollars in NVIDIA stock.”
The president’s eldest son, Eric Trump, who runs the family business with his younger brother, Donald Trump Jr., has denied wrongdoing.

Eric Trump does not hold an official government role, but he accompanied the president on a trip to China this week.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang also participated in the trip.
Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker called Trump “the most corrupt president in American history” in a post on X.
After Trump returned to power, he handed over the management of the family business to his sons, with looser moral constraints than during his first term.
He had previously suspended his family’s overseas investments, but later did not extend it.
The Trump Organization recently announced the construction of a hotel complex in Tbilisi, Georgia.
The president himself has blurred the lines, such as hosting diplomatic events at his private residence.
Documents released on Thursday in Donald Trump’s name detail deals worth more than $200 million in total, involving heavyweights such as Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Boeing.
Financial publication Forbes estimated the president’s personal wealth at $6.5 billion in March 2026, an increase of $1.4 billion in one year.
