I am writing as a deeply alarmed constituent to demand that you take immediate, concrete action on an unprecedented pattern of self-dealing and corruption emanating from the executive branch. The $1.776 Billion “Anti-Weaponization” Slush Fund Earlier this month, the Trump administration — through a settlement between President Trump and the IRS over the leak of his own tax returns — established a $1.776 billion fund financed from the federal Judgment Fund, which will be controlled by Trump allies and will distribute taxpayer dollars to individuals who claim they were harmed by government “weaponization” — with no court oversight. The settlement also includes a DOJ memo blocking the IRS from auditing Trump’s own taxes going forward. How is this legal? This arrangement is an extraordinary violation of Congress’s exclusive appropriations authority, and it is Congress that must act to stop it. A group of 93 members of Congress has already filed a legal brief against it. This is our tax money, this is outrageous. In addition, ethnics filings released on May 14 reveal that President Trump executed more than 3,700 individual stock trades in Q1 alone — a volume that has astonished Wall Street professionals and government ethics experts alike. He purchased between $1 million and $5 million in Nvidia stock on February 10. One week later, Nvidia announced a major chip deal with Meta. He acquired an additional position in Nvidia shortly before the Commerce Department approved Nvidia chip sales to China. He purchased Dell Technologies stock in February, then publicly endorsed Dell hardware at a White House event in May. He has traded Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Broadcom, Palantir, and defense sector stocks — companies and industries directly shaped by his own administration’s policies. Trump has not divested his assets or placed them in a true blind trust, unlike his predecessors. The White House claims his assets are managed by his children with no conflicts. But his own filings contradict those claims. As Trump’s own Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has noted: “If any private citizen traded this way, the SEC would be knocking on their door.” What are you going to do about it? 1. Will you support legislation to close the loophole that allowed the Anti-Weaponization Fund to be created without congressional approval? 2. Will you call for a formal investigation — by the SEC, the Office of Government Ethics, or a congressional committee — into the timing of Trump’s stock trades relative to his administration’s policy decisions? 3. Will you support a law requiring the president to divest personal stock holdings or place them in a verified blind trust? Stand for your constituents, this blatant corruption is disgusting.
