Introducing Trump, Inc., a Podcast on the Many Mysteries of Our Presidents Businesses -ProPublica

ProPublica and WNYC are digging into President Trump's businesses. We're starting with questions, and we want you to join us in the quest for answers.




A couple of months ago, a few of us from ProPublica and WNYC sat together in a conference room and started scribbling on a whiteboard. We were brainstorming all the possible paths to investigate around President Donald Trump and his family businesses.

We were sitting there, frustrated, staring at the whiteboard filled with basic, unanswered questions. Then it occurred to us. That is the story.

More than a year into Trump’s presidency, we still have no way to know whether he is making decisions that place his company’s interests — and profits — ahead of the country’s.

There’s never been a situation like this before, where the person elected to lead our country has declined to divest and still owns a sprawling, active business empire.So we’re trying something new: ProPublica and WNYC are teaming up to launch “Trump, Inc.” It’s a weekly podcast that will start with questions, not answers.
