Published congressional records related to his confirmation hearing do not reflect a million-dollar donation

[PHILADELPHIA] An American think tank has named US Ambassador to Singapore Anjani Sinha in a list of individuals who allegedly benefited from making contributions to US President Donald Trump’s political operations, pet projects and family firms.

Sinha made a US$1 million donation to a political action committee (PAC) aligned with Trump, which he failed to disclose during his 2025 Senate confirmation hearing, said the report released by the Center for American Progress (CAP), a progressive think tank.

It quoted findings from the Campaign Legal Center, a Washington-based non-partisan legal organisation, to say that Sinha “gave US$1 million to Maga Inc in February 2025, and was nominated to be ambassador to Singapore the following month”.

It further notes that Sinha “failed to disclose this contribution to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, despite a legal obligation to do so”.

Checks by The Straits Times on the Federal Election Commission website showed that the donation was made on Feb 20, 2025.

A check of published congressional records related to Sinha’s confirmation hearing, however, did not show the million-dollar donation, although other donations made by him and his family members were listed.

ST asked the US Embassy in Singapore on Nov 10 to confirm the accuracy of the report. The embassy referred inquiries to the US State Department, which did not respond to requests for comment.
