Documentary claims Trump administration responsible for $377 billion in alleged corruption
A new documentary alleges the Trump administration engaged in $377 billion of alleged corruption and power abuses, presenting an interactive map of 100 cases.
A documentary titled “Corruptionland” presents an investigation of 100 alleged misconduct cases linked to Donald Trump and his administration, estimating a total cost of $377 billion. Produced by former senior Department of Homeland Security official Miles Taylor, the project draws on court filings, government documents and congressional records, and offers an interactive map online. The film argues that beyond measurable financial losses, the administration’s removal of inspectors general, ethics attorneys and other watchdogs, as well as alleged retaliation against critics, further erodes accountability.
Interviews feature Donald Sherman of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, former Justice Department pardon attorney Liz Oyer, ex-FBI official Chris O’Leary, journalist Terry Moran and Rep. Jason Crow, who illustrate the alleged corruption while touring the National Mall. The documentary arrives as a Gallup poll shows 89 % of Americans believe corruption is widespread, and it is timed just before the November 3 midterm elections, where the issue is expected to influence voters.
