The Grift Clock counts every time the Trump network gets paid. One week added twelve entries.
14. Trump lifted sanctions on Milorad Dodik last October. Dodik's republic now pays the law firm that employs Susie Wiles' daughter $35,000 a month. Why it matters: a Putin ally bought his way off the Treasury list, and the check came to the family of the White House Chief of Staff.
15. The FBI was looking at a 2020 steak dinner where Navatek's CEO says Lindsey Graham asked for $100,000 against a $10 million Navy contract. Trump's purge removed both agents, and the prosecutor quit. Why it matters: nobody is left to open the file.
16. Julio Herrera Velutini's daughter signed Alina Habba for more than $50 million. Two weeks after she started, Trump pardoned him. Habba calls any link to the pardon "false." Why it matters: a pardon now comes with a contract.
17. The Washington Post got the ballroom donor list: $333 million, Nvidia and Apple at $25 million each, $77 million anonymous. Nvidia signed on three months after Trump let it sell chips to China. Why it matters: the money ends in an account the president controls.
