The Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) is calling for the Department of Justice and Congress to investigate further the disturbing facts and circumstances surrounding LIV Golf and its ties to former president Donald Trump.
Newsweek first reported the news, and this revelation comes after new details on LIV Golfs funding were revealed as part of the PGAs lawsuit against the Saudi Arabian-backed venture.
DAWN wants Trump investigated over payments he received to host LIV Golf junkets at his resorts.
Newsweek revealed that lawsuit documents revealed on January 13th that Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (POF), a sovereign wealth fund headed by the Countrys Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), owns 93 percent of LIV and pays 100 percent of the costs associated with the events.
