President Donald Trump purchased between $1 million and $5 million of Axon Enterprise shares on February 10, according to ethics disclosures filed in May. Two weeks later, on February 24, Immigration and Customs Enforcement posted a notice seeking about 17,800 new tasers under a proposed five-year, $220 million contract, with specifications that three policing experts and procurement reviewers told CNBC match only Axon's Taser 10. The order has not yet been awarded, and no evidence suggests Trump knew of the request or that ICE knew of his stock ownership. The White House stated Trump's holdings are in a trust managed by independent firms and there are no conflicts of interest, while ethics watchdogs expressed concern over the timing. Axon, which controls roughly 90% of the U.S. taser market, reported its ninth straight quarter of revenue growth above 30% and raised its full-year outlook.
