Infantino Called to Testify Before Congress Over Trump Ties

Democrat Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House judiciary committee, has launched a formal investigation into FIFA president Gianni Infantino, demanding documents detailing communications between FIFA and Donald Trump, his administration, and his family business. Raskin's letter also requests visitor logs for FIFA's office in Trump Tower and calls for Infantino to sit for a transcribed interview. A congressional investigation into FIFA's ties with a sitting US president — whose country is co-hosting the 2026 World Cup — raises serious questions about the independence of football's governing body at the highest level.
