Trump Faces Bribery Accusations Over $5,000 Midterm Election Pledge
US President Donald Trump has drawn bribery accusations after promising that every adult American could receive $5,000 if Republicans retain control of Congress in the November midterm elections. He made the pledge during a Republican convention in Dallas and urged supporters to vote as though he were personally on the ballot. The proposed payments could cost more than $1 trillion, raising questions about their funding and legality. Trump used the speech to attack Democrats, defend his administration’s record and warn that a Republican loss would threaten border policy, tax cuts and public safety. He also campaigned for Republican candidates, including Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton, while Democratic Party chairman Ken Martin dismissed the convention as an event centred on Trump. Reports from the venue also questioned Trump’s claim that the convention hall was full.
