I am writing to urge you to take immediate action against the unprecedented corruption in the Trump administration, specifically the reported extortion of $10 billion from the IRS, an agency he directly controls through his appointed Treasury Secretary. This represents a fundamental abuse of presidential power. Trump is using his authority over the Internal Revenue Service to extract billions of dollars for his personal benefit while simultaneously overseeing the very agency responsible for tax enforcement and collection. This is not a conflict of interest, it is outright extortion of a federal agency using the power of the presidency. The implications are staggering. The IRS collects approximately $4.7 trillion annually to fund essential government services that benefit all Americans. When the president treats this agency as a personal piggy bank, demanding $10 billion while controlling its leadership and operations, it corrupts the entire tax system. Every taxpayer who follows the rules and pays what they owe is undermined by a president who uses his position to enrich himself at the expense of the Treasury. This goes beyond typical ethics violations. Trump maintains control over IRS operations through his Treasury appointees while simultaneously making financial demands on the agency. This creates an impossible situation where the agency tasked with ensuring tax compliance is being shaken down by the person at the top of the executive branch. Congress has clear constitutional authority to investigate and check executive branch corruption. I urge you to demand a full investigation into Trump's financial demands from the IRS, support legislation to prevent presidents from profiting from agencies they control, and use your oversight powers to hold this administration accountable. Your constituents deserve a president who serves the public interest, not one who extorts federal agencies for personal gain. I ask that you take a public stand against this corruption and act swiftly to protect the integrity of our tax system.
