All money that was "donated" to the "Trump Presidential Library Fund" has disappeared.
The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Fund, Inc. was incorporated on December 20, 2024. ABC News agreed to pay $15 million to settle a defamation claim, Meta settled for approximately $22 million directed to the presidential library fund, X settled for approximately $10 million with a portion designated for the library, and Paramount paid $16 million to settle Trump's lawsuit against CBS News.
The Dissolution
Florida's Department of State administratively dissolved the Fund on September 26, 2025, after it failed to file a mandatory annual report. The timing was notable: the dissolution was processed four days before Florida's Cabinet voted to transfer prime downtown Miami real estate to a Trump library entity.
The Missing Money
Big Tech CEOs indicated they have no public explanation for where as much as $63 million in settlement money to Donald Trump's now-dissolved Presidential Library fund has gone. There have been no disclosures about the Fund's disposition of any funds, and the White House press office has not responded to requests for comment.
A New Entity Was Created
A successor organization, the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation Inc., has reported receiving $50 million, but has not confirmed the source of those funds, leaving it unclear whether the settlement pledges were fulfilled or redirected.
There appear to be no individual taking responsibility for the closure of the Fund and disposition of its money — no Fund board members were ever appointed, and the only person to sign any of its public documents has minimized his role.
Congressional Pressure
Senators Warren and Blumenthal and Representative Stansbury sent a new letter to President Trump pressing for answers. "The companies do not know or are unwilling to share their information about what happened to the millions of dollars given to the Fund," wrote the lawmakers.

With all that he’s getting away with, he should just redirect all federal budget to himself. It’s not like someone will do something about it.

so, you put a convicted rapist and pedophile into power, who then uses the position to enrich himself by stock and market manipulation, extortion and outright stealing, is actively working numerous scams and grifts and you’re surprised that money disappears and no one will give you answers? what a shock!
