Nearly 3,200 financial disclosure records obtained and published by ProPublica reveal a pattern of significant conflicts of interest across Donald Trump's second-term administration.

The records show cases ranging from a Pentagon deputy secretary who oversees a £119.7 billion ($151 billion) missile defence programme while maintaining a financial relationship with the private equity firm whose portfolio companies are winning contracts on that same project, to a top Justice Department official who shut down federal crypto enforcement while personally holding more than £126,000 ($159,000) in digital assets.
