🇺🇸 Trump account bought Axon before ICE sought a $220M contract
A federal ethics filing shows an account in Donald Trump's name bought between $1M and $5M of Axon stock on Feb. 10, 2026. Two weeks later, ICE posted a notice for a 5-year, $220M contract for stun guns.
⠀
The contract has not been awarded, and no insider trading has been proven. But the specifications point closely to Axon's TASER 10 product line. Axon already supplies ICE and controls around 90% of the U.S. conductive energy weapon market.
⠀
The filing also shows smaller Axon trades in both directions during the quarter. The key detail is size: the Feb. 10 purchase was much larger than the other Axon trades and came shortly before the ICE notice.
⠀
The White House says the account is managed by third-party financial institutions and that Trump does not direct individual trades. Ethics specialists note that the setup is not a true blind trust.
⠀
The issue is not only the trade. It is the timing around a government contract that appears written for one company.
