Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Michael Bennet are questioning the motivations behind large donations from big tech firms to Donald Trump, suggesting they seek to avoid regulatory scrutiny and buy favor.
The lawmakers wrote, 'You have a clear and direct interest in obtaining favors from the incoming administration: your company and many other Big Tech donors are already the subject of ongoing federal investigations and regulatory actions.'
Warren and Bennet expressed that these large donations from tech companies raise concerns about corruption, stating, 'These donations raise questions about corruption and the influence of corporate money on the Trump administration...'
President Biden shared worries about a potential 'tech industrial complex' that might emerge, reflecting the concerns over corporate influence in governance and regulatory frameworks.
