Congress is digging into FIFA president Gianni Infantino after Rep. Jamie Raskin demanded documents on his ties to Donald Trump—including gifts, payments, and Trump Tower office logs—and demanded an interview. The scrutiny intensified during the World Cup, when Trump received a special FIFA peace prize and a controversial red card reversal allegedly linked to his call to Infantino. Critics accuse Infantino of legal bribery and question how FIFA’s “clean slate” image holds up amid alleged favoritism and ticket price gouging. With the U.S. set to host future World Cups, including the Women’s World Cup in 2031, Infantino is defending the tournament’s success while facing mounting pressure to respond by August 9.
