WASHINGTON, Jan 16 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald

Trump purchased about $100 million in municipal and corporate

bonds from mid-November to late December, his latest disclosures

showed, including up to $2 million in ‌Netflix and

Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ) bonds just weeks after the

companies announced their ​merger.

Financial disclosures posted Thursday and Friday showed the

majority ‍of Trump's purchases were municipal bonds ⁠from cities,

local ⁠school districts, utilities and hospitals. But he also

bought bonds from companies ‌including Boeing Occidental

Petroleum and General ​Motors.

The investments were the latest reported assets added to

Trump's expanding portfolio while he is ⁠in office. It includes

holdings ‍in ​sectors that benefit from his policies, raising

questions about conflicts of interest.

For example, Trump said in December ‍he will have a say in

whether Netflix ( NFLX ) can proceed with its proposed $83 billion

acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ), which faces a rival bid

from Paramount Skydance ( PSKY ). Any deal to acquire Warner

Bros will need regulatory ​approval.

A ‍White House official, who spoke on the condition of

anonymity, said on Friday that Trump's stock ​and bond portfolio

is independently managed by third-party financial institutions

and neither Trump nor any member of his family has any ability

to direct, influence or provide input regarding how the

portfolio is invested.

Like many wealthy individuals, Trump regularly buys ​bonds as

part of his investment portfolio. He previously disclosed at

least $82 million in bond purchases from late August to early

October.
