Marjorie Taylor Greene Questions Trump Family’s Financial Gains

Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who once supported President Donald Trump, compared the financial gains of the Trump family to Hunter Biden’s activities. In an appearance on The View, Greene contended that since Trump’s return to the White House in January 2025, the Trump family has benefited financially in a way she previously criticized the Bidens for.

Greene’s comments followed renewed scrutiny of Trump’s financial disclosures. According to The New York Times, Trump declared over $1 billion in income linked to his family’s cryptocurrency endeavors, with another $1 billion from other business ventures, reflecting a substantial increase from the previous year.

House Republicans have accused the Biden family of receiving over $10 million from foreign sources, suggesting an influence-peddling scheme tied to Joe Biden’s political status. Investigators cited meetings and transactions but did not prove Biden personally received foreign payments or altered U.S. policy due to his family’s dealings.

Trump’s recent financial disclosure shows approximately $2.2 billion, vastly exceeding the funds Republicans alleged the Bidens received. Davis Ingle, a White House spokesperson, criticized Greene, labeling her a “quitter.” He accused her of attempting to maintain relevance through media appearances at the expense of Trump.

What Did Marjorie Taylor Greene Say?

On The View, Greene remarked, “Oh, he’s making money, all right,” when questioned about Trump’s financial growth. She admitted initially attacking Hunter Biden over perceived corruption, yet found Trump’s financial gains surprising even to Fox News.

Greene acknowledged Hunter Biden’s substantial earnings during his father’s presidency. Nonetheless, she deemed it “wrong” that the Trumps have accumulated even greater wealth now.

Previously, Greene was a key ally for Trump, advocating his agenda in Congress. She distanced herself from him last year over issues including the Jeffrey Epstein files, later resigning from Congress. Greene has since become a vocal Trump critic.

How Much Money Has Trump Made While in Office?

The Office of Government Ethics (OGE) released a 927-page report detailing Trump’s business earnings. The report showed that Trump generated billions through stock trades, real estate, and royalties, with $1.4 billion from cryptocurrencies alone.

Despite significant earnings in office, Trump’s administration refuted any conflict of interest claims. Deputy press secretary Anna Kelly highlighted that Trump has never engaged in conflicts and lauded his efforts to position the U.S. as a global crypto hub.

After the release of Trump’s financial records, journalist Megyn Kelly commented on the profitable dealings involving his sons. While a Trump supporter, Kelly expressed disapproval over them benefiting financially from government connections, paralleling her stance on Hunter Biden’s activities.

What Did Investigation Into Hunter Biden Find?

The Republican-led investigation into Hunter Biden was part of an impeachment inquiry against his father. Allegations revolved around foreign business dealings benefiting from Biden’s political standing. The House did not vote on impeachment articles, ultimately not impeaching Biden.

The inquiry concluded that Hunter Biden and associates gained approximately $10 million through international ventures across countries such as China and Ukraine.

Other Politicians Recently Accused of Profiting From Public Office

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has also faced scrutiny over her personal wealth and trading activities. Public records revealed she traded considerably in the information technology sector, with significant transactions in companies like Apple and Nvidia.

Under the STOCK Act, congressional trading disclosures are mandatory. Critics argue legislators possess access to insider information, yet Pelosi has consistently denied personally handling trades.

Former Senator Robert Menendez received an 11-year prison sentence in January 2025 for accepting bribes involving cash and gold. He was convicted of corruption-related charges for benefiting foreign nations during his committee tenure.
