U.S.: Investigate New Evidence of President Trump's Business Dealings with MBS
(January 15, 2023 – New York): The U.S. Department of Justice and Congress should investigate the disturbing facts and circumstances surrounding payments by Saudi Arabia's sovereign Public Investment Fund (PIF), via its wholly-owned LIV Golf company, to businesses owned by former President Donald Trump, said Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN).
On January 13, 2023, Elliot Peters, a name partner at Keker, a prominent San Francisco law firm, who is lead counsel to the PGA in the players' lawsuit, inadvertently revealed in a court proceeding that PIF owns 93% of LIV Golf, pays for all of its events, and holds all of the entity's financial risk. PIF's chairman is Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman (MBS), who has absolute and final decision-making control over the fund. LIV Golf is a newly established golf tournament franchise that has emerged as a rival to PGA Golf. It has paid Trump-owned golf resorts unknown millions of dollars to hold its events there, and former President Trump has publicly championed the new league, made prominent appearances at its events, and urged PGA players to sign on with LIV Golf.
"The revelation that a fund controlled by Crown Prince MBS actually owns almost all of LIV Golf means that MBS has been paying Donald Trump unknown millions for the past two years, via their mutual corporate covers," said Sarah Leah Whitson, Executive Director of DAWN. "The national security implications of payments from a grotesquely abusive foreign dictator to a president of the United States who provided extraordinary favors to him are as dangerous as they are shocking."

It can't compete with the well established PGA and isn't drawing the big names it had hoped for.
The only golfers they're attracting are over-the-hill types, and young golfers who can't make it in the PGA. The Trump "brand" is pretty toxic right now, and if LIV didn't have the deep pockets of the Saudis behind it, it would have folded already.
Leave it to Trump to always team up with fellow lowlife scumbags like himself. He'll take as much money as the Saudis want to throw at him, and is probably using state secrets as currency with them. He's just that kind of guy.
