Gianni Infantino, Jamie Raskin, FIFA and Donald Trump
Monday
U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin has requested that FIFA president Gianni Infantino appear for a transcribed interview about FIFA’s relationship with Donald Trump. He also demanded records covering contacts, gifts, awards, appearances and dealings with Trump-linked entities.
Raskin asked FIFA to provide the material by 9 August and preserve communications across messaging platforms. The request follows scrutiny of Trump’s World Cup involvement, FIFA’s Peace Prize and the president’s intervention in Folarin Balogun’s suspended ban.
