Trump Bought Axon Stock Before ICE Taser Deal
President Trump made significant stock purchases in Axon Enterprise, a Taser manufacturer, shortly before ICE solicited a large contract for similar devices. While the White House states Trump has no direct involvement in investments, the timing and tailored specifications of the ICE notice have raised ethical questions. Experts note the contract’s specifications strongly favor Axon, potentially leading to substantial gains for Trump’s investments and further entrenching Axon’s role in federal law enforcement technology.
