More than 11,500 people across nine states have been sickened in the largest known cyclospora outbreak in U.S. history. The FDA rule designed to catch contamination like this faster was delayed by the previous administration — after produce industry lobbying.
The company suspected in a cyclospora outbreak gave $2.2 million to GOP infrastructure — including $1 million to a Trump-aligned PAC days after the administration delayed the food tracing rule it would have been required to follow. Thousands are now sick.
Trump's financial disclosures show he bought roughly $500,000 in Abbott Laboratories stock before his DOJ shut down a criminal investigation into the infant formula maker — a company linked to at least nine infant deaths and a $500,000 donor to his inaugural fund.
