‘Profiting in the grey zone’: Analyst reacts to report of ‘flourishing’ corruption under Trump

​News24 US Analyst Michael Ware reacts to former Australian ambassador to the US Joe Hockey’s claim of “flourishing” corruption in Washington DC. ​“We’re seeing what many feel is corruption abounds; at the very least, this is in grey areas,” Mr Ware told News24. ​“Whether it’s the donation of a Qatari airliner for President Trump’s personal use as Air Force One, the president making $2 billion from various ventures, from the president creating a cryptocurrency called stablecoin, then just months later passing legislation to benefit. ​“We’ve been so used to this kind of double dealing. ​“At the very least, you would say that the president is very much personally profiting in the grey zone.”
