An investigative report published on Wednesday exposed a massive Christian MAGA corruption scandal involving state treasurers and private finance executives. Reporter Lauren Windsor documented extensive self-dealing, detailing a world of 'ballrooms, slush funds, jumbo jets' funded by non-profit money. The investigation revealed how public retirement funds across states were directed into faith-aligned investment entities.
For context, President Donald Trump has long relied on Christian nationalist groups to bolster his political movement and policy goals. These organisations often lobby to direct public investment money away from mainstream banks and towards conservative financial allies.
