I am writing to urge you to take immediate action to hold President Trump accountable for corruption that undermines our democratic institutions and the public trust. Recent investigative reporting involving over 60 journalists from multiple beats has uncovered extensive evidence requiring congressional oversight and potential legislative remedies.
When major news organizations deploy this level of investigative resources, including reporters Peter Baker, Maggie Haberman, Eric Lipton, Ben Protess, and dozens of others spanning national security, business, international affairs, and investigative beats, it signals the scope and seriousness of the findings. This collaborative effort represents the kind of comprehensive documentation that demands a proportional response from Congress.
I am asking you to use your position to ensure full accountability through several mechanisms. First, support or initiate investigations through relevant committees with subpoena power to compel testimony and document production. Second, advocate for legislative reforms that close loopholes enabling conflicts of interest and self-dealing by elected officials. Third, publicly call for transparency regarding financial entanglements that may compromise decision-making in the public interest.
The involvement of reporters covering everything from technology policy to international finance to national security suggests this is not a single isolated incident but a pattern requiring systemic reform. When corruption goes unchecked, it erodes faith in government, creates unequal application of law, and allows policy decisions to be made for personal enrichment rather than constituent welfare.
Your constituents deserve representatives who will prioritize accountability over party loyalty. I expect you to take a clear public stance on these findings and work toward meaningful consequences and reforms. The evidence is documented. The question is whether Congress will act on it.
