Dan Scavino had months to sell off up to $5 million worth of Trump Media stock after he joined President Donald Trump's administration as a deputy chief of staff in January.
But the top Trump adviser picked April 1, the day before Trump announced sweeping tariffs, to make the sale, according to disclosure reports obtained by USA TODAY.
After markets closed on April 2, Trump announced tariffs on imports from countries worldwide. Markets plunged on the news, dropping 12% by April 9, when Trump paused the tariffs. Trump Media stock, too, fell 11%.
The disclosure filings also show that Sergio Gor, Director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, sold Trump Media securities valued between $15,001 and $50,000 on March 27, just days before the tariffs were announced.
In response to USA TODAY’s questions about the timing of the divestments, White House Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers said, “White House senior staff, including Deputy Chief of Staff Scavino and PPO Director Gor, fully comply with the executive branch ethics rules, attending required ethics briefings and complying with conflict of interest and financial reporting obligations.”

Follow live reaction to England’s extraordinary penalty shootout victory over Sweden, in a game they trailed 2-0 Gerhardsson also spoke about Smilla Holmberg, Sweden's 18-year-old who missed the decisive penalty: "Everyone supports her, and not only her. The sadness is not because you are 18, others are just as sad at 27 or 30. What you saw after the shootout was support, everyone supported one another. It will be difficult to deal with later, but us in the coaching team made the choice of players, and we have never been cowardly to make a decision, but sometimes things do not go your way.” Read more:
A federal judge in Texas has thrown a wrench into the financial lives of nearly 15 million Americans by reversing a Biden administration rule that aimed to wipe $50 million in medical debt from credit reports. The decision, handed down on July 11, 2025, by U.S. District Judge Sean Jordan, strikes at a policy finalised by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in January, just before Joe Biden left office. Jordan ruled that the Fair Credit Reporting Act does not grant the CFPB authority to remove medical debt, effectively halting a measure that could have boosted credit scores by an average of 20 points and enabled 22,000 additional mortgages annually. For millions, this reversal could mean higher borrowing costs and limited access to loans, raising urgent questions about personal financial stability.
