Hold Shadow Hearings on Trump's $1.1 Million-Per-Hour Profiteering

To: Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff, Rep. Chu

From: A verified voter in Pasadena, CA

August 15

Schedule joint shadow hearings this August recess to expose exactly how Donald Trump pocketed $2.2 billion — $1.1 million an hour based on a 40-hour work week — while serving as president. Vague social media posts calling it a "culture of corruption" aren't enough. Americans need to see the specifics: the crypto venture World Liberty Financial, the IDF-approved bank charter for his sons' company, the sweetheart deal with the IRS on tax abuses. That's not a talking point — that's a prosecutable pattern. Compare that $1.1 million an hour to the federal minimum wage frozen at $7.25. That contrast alone would resonate with millions of voters, including Republicans. Bring in legal and financial experts to testify, put it on the record, and give the Capitol press corps something concrete to report. The opportunity to define Trump's presidency as one of naked self-enrichment is sitting right there. Shadow hearings are how you take it.
