Iran-Contra Connections — Trump Officials' Ties to Iran-Linked Operatives Revealed (2020-2026)
Multiple investigations reveal connections between Trump associates and Iran-linked operatives. Trump's first national security advisor Michael Flynn had undisclosed lobbying work benefiting Turkey, which has close ties to Iran. Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner receives $2 billion from a Saudi-linked investment fund months after leaving office, raising concerns about foreign influence. A 2024 investigation reveals Trump campaign officials met with Iranian intermediaries offering opposition research on Biden. The connections echo the Iran-Contra affair of the 1980s.
