Hunter Index is Now Political Wallet
Same mission, bigger team — help us keep growing
Every year, President Donald Trump’s financial disclosures show how his business interests intersect with his decisions as president — including patterns like late-reported stock trades that lined up with major policy announcements. We built Trump’s Wallet to make that public. It’s a free, searchable database covering more than 18,000 asset and liabilities from 2016 until now.
We’re also sharing something new. Hunter Index is now officially known as Political Wallet.
The mission hasn’t changed. We still track what’s in politicians’ wallets and explain what it means for the public. The name now just reflects what we do, not who started it.
What hasn’t changed:
Our journalism and data are free, and will stay free.
We pay our freelance journalists and data specialists fair market rates.
We partner with legacy newsrooms and other nonprofits.
Every story meets the same standard — fact-based, nonpartisan, reviewed by our board and outside counsel.
What has changed: we’ve grown. What started as a one-person effort nearly three years ago is now a team of roughly a dozen people, led by a fully volunteer board with decades of relevant expertise.
Political Wallet has never been designed to make a profit. We run entirely on donations and grants, and that’s the only reason we can give this work away for free.
Work like Trump’s Wallet is expensive and slow by design. Getting it right means transcribing disclosure reports line by line, not skimming them. Most newsrooms don’t have the bandwidth for that. We do — but only with reader support.
We need your help to keep doing this work.
