Pete Buttigieg says Trump should not prevent opening of Gordie Howe Bridge: 'It is corruption'

Published | Video Starts at 01:00

Let's be super clear about what happened. Somebody, there's already a bridge. There's the old bridge. Someone makes a lot of money of that old bridge being the only bridge. That person put a million bucks into a pro Trump super PAC and got a hold of Howard Lutnick, the Commerce Secretary. And I don't know what else happened. Maybe something went into the ballroom, maybe something went into crypto, I don't know. But I know at least the fact pattern that I just described. (01:00–01:08)

CLAIM

Asserts that a financial contribution was made to a pro-Trump super PAC by someone benefiting from the old bridge.
