I need you to investigate suspicious trading activity around Trump administration policy announcements and restore enforcement of white-collar crime laws.
Multiple newly created Polymarket accounts have made perfect predictions on Iran strikes, Venezuela military action, and ceasefire negotiations just before official announcements, with one account profiting over half a million dollars. Minutes before Trump posted about Iran talks, someone placed half a billion dollars in oil market bets. This isn't coincidence. It's insider trading using classified information.
Meanwhile, the DOJ has dropped 145 major corporate enforcement actions and issued a directive to "turn a new page" away from white-collar prosecution. Trump paused Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigations and pardoned dozens of financial criminals including Binance founder CZ Zhao, George Santos, and billionaire Joe Lewis. These 88 pardon recipients owed $298 million in fines and restitution that victims will never see. One recipient got her second Trump pardon for a separate fraud.
When well-connected people trade on classified information and receive pardons for fraud, honest business becomes impossible. The rule of law means nothing if it only applies to those without White House access. Launch congressional investigations into this trading activity and pass legislation to restore white-collar crime enforcement funding and independence.
