U.S. President Donald Trump purchased about $100 million in municipal and corporate bonds from mid-November to late December, his latest disclosures showed, including up to $2 million in Netflix and Warner Bros Discovery bonds just weeks after the companies announced their merger. Financial disclosures posted Thursday and Friday showed the majority of Trump's purchases were municipal bonds from cities, local school districts, utilities and hospitals. For example, Trump said in December he will have a say in whether Netflix can proceed with its proposed $83 billion acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery, which faces a rival bid from Paramount Skydance. Any deal to acquire Warner Bros will need regulatory approval. He previously disclosed at least $82 million in bond purchases from late August to early October.
