## Resource

House Democrats blast a Trump-linked group for allegedly pulling a fast one on donors, redirecting millions meant for America’s 250th anniversary celebration to a partisan outfit called Freedom 250 — which they say was set up to promote a Trump-centric vision of American identity. The report accuses the group of operating as a “financial black box,” hiding how taxpayer and private funds are spent, even soliciting foreign donations. Freedom 250 denies wrongdoing, calling the accusations a “partisan smear” and insists it’s focused on uniting the nation — while Democrats warn this could be wire fraud and a blatant abuse of public trust.
