Investigate Presidential Self-Enrichment and Abuse of Power

I am writing to demand immediate and aggressive congressional oversight into credible, ongoing reports of self-enrichment, conflicts of interest, and potential abuse of public resources by members of Donald Trump’s family while operating in and around the presidency. The scale and brazenness of these actions—many of them documented through public reporting, financial disclosures, and prior investigations—would trigger sweeping inquiries in any functioning democracy. Congress’s continued inaction is a dereliction of its constitutional duty. The American public is not dealing with vague concerns. We are seeing a pattern of conduct with clear, specific examples: • During Donald Trump’s prior presidency, the Secret Service spent millions of taxpayer dollars at Trump-owned properties—including Mar-a-Lago, Bedminster, and Trump National Golf Club—effectively directing public funds into businesses owned by the president. Reports indicate this pattern has continued in various forms, raising renewed concerns about self-dealing through federally funded security operations. • Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner earned an estimated $640 million to over $700 million in outside income during their time in the White House, according to federal financial disclosures. These earnings came while both held senior advisory roles with direct influence over federal policy. • Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund for his private equity firm, despite reported concerns raised by the fund’s own advisory panel about the deal’s merits. This raises serious questions about whether official actions and relationships cultivated during government service are now being monetized. • The Trump Organization has continued to pursue and benefit from foreign business interests, including licensing deals and development projects in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates—regions where U.S. foreign policy decisions carry enormous financial implications. • Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have actively promoted Trump-branded business ventures, including real estate and international development deals, while maintaining close proximity to political power and influence over the party apparatus. Public appearances and media engagements have at times blended political messaging with business promotion. • Reports have indicated that Melania Trump secured a high-value media or documentary agreement with a major corporation at a time when that corporation has significant regulatory interests before the federal government—raising legitimate concerns about access, influence, and pay-to-play dynamics. • Additional reporting has raised concerns about the use of taxpayer-funded Secret Service protection for activities that appear unrelated to core security needs, including private business travel and media production involving members of the Trump family. These are not hypotheticals. These are documented patterns of behavior that raise profound ethical, legal, and constitutional concerns. No president—nor any member of a president’s family—should be permitted to profit from public office, directly or indirectly. When private financial interests overlap with public authority, it creates fertile ground for corruption, foreign influence, and compromised decision-making. Congress has both the authority and the obligation to act. I am therefore demanding: 1. Immediate public congressional hearings examining the financial activities and business dealings of Trump family members during and after Donald Trump’s presidency. 2. Full disclosure of all taxpayer-funded expenditures connected to Trump family travel, security, and use of government resources. 3. A comprehensive investigation into financial relationships between Trump-affiliated entities and foreign governments, sovereign wealth funds, and corporations with interests before the United States government. 4. Subpoenas for financial records, contracts, and communications related to these dealings. 5. A formal ethics and legal review to determine whether existing laws were violated and whether new safeguards are necessary to prevent presidential profiteering. The American people deserve transparency. They deserve accountability. And they deserve assurance that the presidency is not being used as a vehicle for private enrichment. Your silence is not neutrality—it is complicity. Investigate this. Hold hearings. Subpoena records. Follow the money. Do your job. The American public is watching—and we will remember who chose accountability and who chose to look away.
