This is beyond the pale. And your continued silence is indefensible. It is being widely reported that President Trump is suing—or attempting to sue—the United States government for $10 billion, a staggering sum that would directly benefit him personally. If true, this would represent an unprecedented abuse of power: a sitting President using the office not to serve the country, but to extract enormous sums of money from it for his own enrichment. No other President in American history has attempted anything like this. A President is not a private citizen when it comes to actions taken in connection with the office. The idea that someone could occupy the presidency and simultaneously pursue massive personal financial claims against their own government should alarm every single member of Congress, regardless of party. This is not normal. This is not acceptable. And it is not legal to simply look the other way. If the President is using taxpayer-funded lawyers, agencies, time, or leverage to pad his personal bank account, that is a profound corruption of public office. If he is attempting to intimidate or strong-arm the government into paying him billions, that is extortion dressed up as litigation. Either way, it demands immediate congressional action. Congress exists precisely to prevent this kind of abuse. You must: • Immediately investigate the nature, basis, and legality of this lawsuit • Determine whether public resources are being used for personal gain • Hold public hearings so Americans can see exactly what is happening • Reassert that the presidency is not a personal profit machine This country does not belong to Donald Trump. The U.S. Treasury is not his personal ATM. Taxpayer money is not his settlement fund. If Congress allows a President to sue his own government for billions while in office, then you are effectively declaring that there are no ethical limits left—only power and greed. That is not democracy. That is not constitutional governance. That is a betrayal of the public trust. Do your jobs. Draw the line. Stop this before it becomes yet another “new normal” that future generations will look back on in disbelief and shame. The American people are watching. And history will remember who stood up—and who stayed silent.
