INVESTIGATE NOW: Profiteering, Insider Trading, and Operation Epic Fury

To: Rep. Roy, Sen. Cornyn, Sen. Cruz

From: A constituent in Bandera, TX

March 10

I am writing to express a level of fury that I cannot adequately put into words. While the United States is embroiled in "Operation Epic Fury," and American service members are once again losing their lives in the Middle East, the Trump family is allegedly treating this war as a private investment opportunity. The reports that Barron Trump moved $50 million into the oil sector just 48 hours before the February 28th strikes on Iran are not just a "conflict of interest"—they are a predatory exploitation of national security for blood money. As global oil prices skyrocket past $100 a barrel and the Strait of Hormuz sits paralyzed, my family is being crushed by the cost of living and the looming threat of lost healthcare. It is absolutely intolerable that while the rest of us suffer the economic fallout of an unlawful war, the President’s son is reportedly cashing in on the very chaos his father unleashed. This is the definition of insider trading. No private citizen—let alone the son of the Commander-in-Chief—should have the ability to front-run a military invasion. I demand the following immediately: - An emergency Congressional subpoena of all brokerage records and communication logs for Barron Trump and any associated shell companies or trusts. - The immediate introduction of the "No War Profiteering Act" to freeze the assets of any immediate family member of the Executive branch who trades in impacted sectors during active combat operations. - A formal statement from your office condemning this blatant disregard for the rule of law. If you do not have the spine to investigate this corruption and hold these bastards accountable, you are complicit. Do not expect my vote, my donations, or my silence. We are watching, and we will not forget who stood by while the first family enriched themselves on the backs of a dying regional peace. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
