Congress Must Investigate Trump's Self-Enrichment Deals

Since returning to the White House, Trump has reportedly made more than $2 billion from his personal businesses.

It’s a stunning windfall for any one individual. But when it involves a president whose administration appears to use the power of the federal government to enrich family, friends, and himself? It demands answers. Immediately.

Shocking reporting from The New York Times details how Trump personally intervened on behalf of a company his sons had secretly invested in to secure rights to mine a rare-earth mineral in Kazakhstan. The deal netted the family millions, and came with a potential $1.6 billion price tag for taxpayers in the form of federal financing for the mine.

That’s just one example. The Times uncovered 13 others.

Each time the U.S. government negotiates deals that will directly enrich the families of the very officials who helped make them happen, it reinforces a dangerous pay-for-play foreign policy that we cannot let go unnoticed. With your help, we’ll make sure lawmakers with the power to conduct critical oversight don’t look away either.

To members of the 119th Congress:

I am deeply concerned by reports that Trump, his family, and close allies of his administration are personally profiting from deals negotiated by the federal government. I urge you to launch a full investigation into any potential self-dealings and ensure taxpayer dollars are being used for public interest, not private gain.
