US Senate Dems allege Trump traded EPA rollbacks for oil campaign cash

Senate Democrats released a report alleging that Trump's 2024 campaign solicited $1 billion from oil and gas companies, which subsequently benefited from tax incentives, subsidies, and EPA deregulation. The report is based on 19 EPA and 13 other investigations, but is a partisan accusation without independent corroboration. It matters as it could influence energy policy debates and the 2026 midterm narrative.
