Investigate Statutory Corruption and Insider Trading at the White House

To: Sen. Husted, Sen. Moreno, Rep. Beatty

From: A verified voter in Columbus, OH

May 22

The recent release of OGE Form 278-T documents what can only be described as statutory corruption and insider trading at the highest level of the executive branch. In the first quarter of 2026, the President executed over 3,700 stock trades, moving up to $750 million in assets. By refusing the established precedent of a blind trust, the administration is now actively trading in the exact corporate sectors it regulates. This is not a partisan grievance; it is a documented breach of the public trust and a glaring violation of the STOCK Act. Financial records confirm the purchase of millions in shares of companies like Nvidia and Eli Lilly just days before the administration enacted federal policies that directly boosted their stock value. Using the regulatory power of the presidency to manipulate market conditions for personal, unlawful profiteering destroys the Due Process guarantee of a neutral decision-maker and makes a mockery of the Rule of Law. I demand that you exercise your Article I oversight authority to address this open corruption immediately by taking the following actions: 1. Subpoena all communications between the White House and executive agencies regarding the regulatory clearances that preceded these major stock purchases. 2. Initiate formal hearings in the relevant oversight committees to investigate these trades as explicit violations of the STOCK Act's prohibition on insider trading by federal officials. 3. Introduce binding legislation requiring all chief executives to place their assets in a verified blind trust prior to taking the oath of office. Turning the presidency into a mechanism for personal enrichment is a constitutional crisis. I will be monitoring your actions on this issue to see if you stand for the rule of law or if you are complicit in executive corruption.
