Fact check: George Galloway claimed that Donald Trump transferred $1.25 billion from the US Treasury to his personal account.
Verdict: misleading — Trust Score 45/100
This post is refuted by 11 sources to be a misleading escalation of a months-old rumor. While George Galloway did make these statements on his 'MOATS' broadcast in June 2026, his claim that $1.25 billion was moved to a 'personal account' is a factual distortion of reports from March 2026 regarding the 'Board of Peace' organization.
