Trevor Milton was convicted of one count of securities fraud and two counts of wire fraud for defrauding shareholders of the electric truck maker Nikola, who lost tens of millions of dollars after Milton made “extravagant claims about the company, including that it had working prototypes of emission-free long-haul trucks, had billions of dollars’ worth of binding orders and was producing low-cost hydrogen fuel.” Those statements were false.

Since 2016, Mr. Milton has contributed $2.85 million to a long list of conservative elected officials, political action committees and state Republican committees, according to federal campaign records.

That includes at least $930,000 donated to the Trump campaign or political action committees that have supported Mr. Trump’s candidacy, and another $285,000 to the Republican National Committee, according to the records.

Trump is the most corrupt president to ever hold the office.
