Meeting participant says president makes more than $1,000,000 an hour, calls it "corruption"

A meeting participant at a Judiciary: House Committee session alleged that "The president was has been making more than 1000000 dollars an hour since he took office," linking the claim to the president's White House salary and other unspecified income.

The speaker outlined a calculation scenario invoking a 40-hour work week and the president's $400,000 annual White House salary, saying that, on that basis, the president "was making more than double that each hour that he's been in office," and used those figures to motivate the broader hourly-earnings claim. The transcript does not provide supporting documentation or a breakdown of the additional income the speaker cited.

The speaker closed by characterizing the situation as "corruption on an immense scale, unlike anything we've ever seen before in US history." The transcript records no named rebuttal, official response, motion, or vote following the remarks, and it does not indicate that evidence was offered to substantiate the numerical assertion.

Because the statement is an allegation recorded in public remarks rather than a documented finding, reporters and readers should treat it as an unverified claim. The committee record included in the transcript contains no further detail about supporting sources, and no formal action or staff presentation followed these remarks.
