As your constituent, I am writing to demand an immediate congressional investigation into an unprecedented financial conflict of interest at the highest level of our executive branch. On June 30, 2026, the U.S. Office of Government Ethics released the President’s annual financial disclosure. While the administration frames this 927-page document as a sign of transparency, the data reveals a deeply concerning pattern. In his first year back in office, the President personally captured at least $1.4 billion in income from specialized business and digital currency ventures—private interests that are simultaneously impacted by his administration's direct regulatory and executive actions. Alarmingly, during this same window, federal oversight was dialed back and specific federal investigations were dropped for entities holding direct financial ties to these same private family interests. This is not a partisan issue; it is a fundamental challenge to the rule of law. When public officials use the regulatory power of the state to influence markets where they hold an immense personal stake, it destroys public trust, distorts the free market, and violates basic ethical boundaries. Congress has a clear constitutional obligation to act as a check on executive power. I urge you to take three concrete actions: 1. Launch a full congressional investigation into the relationship between the administration's recent regulatory rollbacks and the President’s personal business holdings. Any dropped investigation or policy shift favoring entities tied to these private ventures must be examined under oath. 2. Enforce genuine divestiture. Placing massive assets into a trust run by immediate family members is not a blind trust—it is a family enterprise. No president should personally profit from the policy choices made in the Oval Office. We need legislation requiring a truly independent, total divestiture of financial stakes in regulated fields. 3. Protect the public from insider influence. Champion strict guidelines that require full, immediate disclosure of financial entanglements before any private entity can influence federal rule-making. No American—regardless of political party—should tolerate a system where the executive branch can be leveraged as a personal profit center. The scale of this financial entanglement is undeniable. I expect you to use your office to protect the integrity of our government and ensure equal justice under the law.
