Blood, barrels and billions for MAGA donors from Trump’s oil raid: Follow the money


Venezuela raid enriches MAGA billionaire. The ouster of Maduro is a financial windfall for a prominent Trump-supporting billionaire, investor Paul Singer. — Judd Legum — Popular Info Petro-Politics: How Campaign Cash Fueled Trump’s Invasion of Venezuela. Trump’s removal of President Nicolás Maduro could tilt international court proceedings and provide a windfall to corporate plaintiffs. A U.S.-backed Venezuelan government could settle those cases or fail to adequately argue their side in court, using Venezuela’s resources to award companies with hundreds of millions in damages. — Lever News Devin Nunes and others linked to Trump Media became officers of a company soon after it made an unsuccessful $10 billion bid for Venezuelan-state-owned Citgo Petroleum’s U.S. assets — Wendy Siegelman “They’re not fighting terrorism. They’re stealing oil.” “Nunes is Trump Media CEO and Trump’s bag man.” The Venezuela war isn’t about drugs. It’s about seizing $10 billion in petroleum assets. And Nunes got positioned before the bombing started. — Narativ Follow the money Relationship maps reveal the truth

Amber is part of Elliott Investment Management, a firm founded by hedge-fund billionaire Paul Singer November 25, 2025 U.S. Judge Stark approved the acquisition of Citgo parent PDV Holding, Inc. by Amber Energy for $5.9 billion. However, Gold Reserve is challenging the decision. — Wendy Sieglman on NewsTRACS Hedge fund magnate Paul Singer is known for his high-profile, and often combative, dealmaking. He founded his hedge fund firm, Elliott Management, which now has some $73 billion in assets under management. He famously spent 15 years warring with the government of Argentina over bond payments, which resulted in a $2.4 billion payout to his firm in 2016. Singer frequently donates to Jewish and pro-Israel causes, including BBYO and Hillel. He’s given roughly $300 million to his foundation since 2010. — Forbes Follow the money Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) Singer is also a major donor to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD). In November 2025, FDD produced a report calling for military strikes in Venezuela. “The United States should strike cartel infrastructure, drug production facilities, and regime military assets that enable narcoterrorism,” the FDD report argued. Singer has supported other right-wing think tanks that have promoted hawkish U.S. policies against Venezuela, including AEI and the Heritage Foundation. — Popular Info TakeAway: Call your rep. #NoBloodForOil
