US President Donald Trump has long boasted of his wealth, is he now using his office to enrich himself and his family?

The vast network of foreign deals, hotels and cryptocurrency that is business as usual for the Trumps is unlike anything the US has ever seen from a president.

The White House says Trump is abiding by the rules and stepped back from his business ventures while in office. But critics argue the way the President mixes business and politics threatens the very foundations of American democracy.

This week on Four Corners, the ABC’s Americas Editor John Lyons and a team of journalists interrogate just how this plethora of business activities have opened Trump up to accusations of profiting from the presidency, and conflicts of interest.

Lyons’ questions to Trump about his business deals were met with a rebuke that made headlines around the world.

"Your leader is coming over to see me very soon. I’m going to tell him about you,” Trump warned Lyons.

This documentary was originally broadcast as Four Corners: Chasing Trump’s Billions, on 13 October 2025.
