MIAMI– The social networks business established by previous President Donald Trump looked for a company visa program that he looked for to limit throughout his administration and which a number of his allies desire him to reduce in a possible 2nd term.
Trump Media & & Technology Group, the business behind Truth Social, submitted an application in June 2022 for an H-1B visa for an employee at a $65,000 yearly wage, the most affordable wage classification permitted under the program. Federal migration information reveals the business was authorized for a visa a couple of months later on. The business states it did not employ the employee.
Declare the visa sets the image of Trump the prospect, who has actually proposed a protectionist program for business to “employ American,” in dispute with Trump the business owner, who has stated his business will utilize every tool at their disposal. Records reveal the financial investment company begun by Trump’s son-in-law and White House consultant, Jared Kushner, likewise submitted an application and was authorized to employ an immigrant as a partner under the very same visa program.
Trump Media & & Technology Group stated in a declaration the application “was made under previous management,” despite the fact that the existing CEO, previous House Intelligence Committee chairman and long time Trump ally Devin Nunes, was currently leading the business at the time the application was very first submitted with the U.S. Department of Labor.
“The business has actually never ever employed– and has no strategies to employ– an H-1B visa program employee. When present management discovered of this application, which was made under previous management, it quickly ended the procedure in November 2022,” the business stated in a declaration.
