《华盛顿邮报》：民主党已警告沙特、阿联酋与卡塔尔，特朗普家族与海湾国家的交易将受国会审查
《华盛顿邮报》11月14日报道，在中期选举中夺回国会两院的民主党人已警告沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋与卡塔尔三国政府，他们与特朗普家族及特朗普政府之间的财务往来将面临国会调查；沙特、阿联酋与卡塔尔正准备应对一场针对所谓腐败问题的审查。
据该报报道，民主党议员打算把商业安排作为回应选民腐败关切的更广泛努力的一部分，调查重点包括与特朗普家族有关的房地产交易、金融投资与其他交易，核心问题是这三国的财务往来与赠礼是否与特朗普政府的政策决定挂钩。民主党方面还警告说，拒绝配合国会调查可能损害这三国与华盛顿的关系。不过，熟悉内情的外交官与官员对该报表示，这三国不大可能向议员交出包括私人通讯在内的敏感信息。
据报道，可能受到审查的往来包括：与阿联酋高级王室成员谢赫塔赫农·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬有关联的一家实体，向 World Liberty Financial 投资5亿美元，这家加密货币公司由特朗普的三个儿子与特使维特科夫之子扎克·维特科夫共同创办；沙特主权财富基金2021年向特朗普女婿库什纳创办的私募股权公司 Affinity Partners 投资20亿美元；以及卡塔尔赠送一架价值约4亿美元的波音747-8飞机一事。阿联酋方面此后一直在超级智能（SI）先进芯片采购等问题上寻求特朗普政府的优惠待遇。
参议员克里斯·墨菲说，他10月访问海湾地区时，曾向沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼与卡塔尔埃米尔谢赫塔米姆·本·哈马德·阿勒萨尼提出腐败方面的关切。以上均为《华盛顿邮报》的报道内容，相关交易是否与政策决定挂钩尚待调查认定。

Washington Post: Democrats Have Warned Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar That Trump Family Deals With Gulf States Face Congressional Scrutiny
The Washington Post reported on November 14 that Democrats, who won control of both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections, have already warned the governments of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar that their financial ties to the Trump family and the Trump administration will face congressional investigations, and that the three Gulf monarchies are bracing for a barrage of corruption scrutiny.
According to the Post, Democratic lawmakers intend to examine business arrangements as part of a broader effort to address voter concerns about corruption. The inquiries are expected to focus on real estate deals, financial investments and other transactions involving the Trump family and the Gulf states, and on whether financial dealings and gifts from the three states were linked to policy decisions by the Trump administration. Democrats have also warned that refusing to cooperate with congressional inquiries could jeopardize the three governments' relationships with Washington. Diplomats and officials familiar with the matter told the newspaper, however, that the three are unlikely to provide lawmakers with sensitive information, including private communications.
Dealings likely to attract scrutiny, according to the report, include a $500 million investment by an entity connected to senior Emirati royal Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan in World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency company founded by Trump's three sons and Zach Witkoff, the son of special envoy Steve Witkoff; a $2 billion investment in 2021 by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund in Affinity Partners, the private equity firm founded by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner; and Qatar's gift of a luxury Boeing 747-8 aircraft valued at around $400 million. The UAE has since been seeking favorable treatment from the Trump administration on issues including purchases of advanced super intelligence (SI) chips.
Senator Chris Murphy said he had raised corruption concerns with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani during an October visit to the Gulf. The account above is the Washington Post's reporting; whether any dealing was linked to a policy decision remains a matter for the investigations to determine.
