SoftBank donated $50 million to Donald Trump's presidential library months before securing a federal lease for an Ohio data center.Summary
SoftBank contributed $50 million to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation in January, just months before announcing a partnership to build a massive AI data center on federal land in Ohio. Lawmakers including Sen. Elizabeth Warren raised bribery concerns, noting that the donation occurred while Trump was in office and before the library was even constructed, differing from SoftBank's past donations to previous presidents' libraries.
