An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Why is Trump and his family making millions while in the White House???

25 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

I am writing with urgent and unrestrained outrage to demand immediate, aggressive congressional oversight into the alleged corruption surrounding President Trump, his family, and his close associates. The American people are watching a White House that appears to treat public office as a private cash machine, and the mere appearance of profiteering at the highest levels of government is intolerable, dangerous, and corrosive to our democracy. Since the moment President Trump took office, reports, disclosures, and investigative journalism have raised repeated and deeply troubling questions: conflicts of interest, foreign business entanglements, payments routed through private companies, and personal enrichment tied to political power. These allegations—whether involving the president himself, his family members, or his inner circle—paint a picture of a government drifting perilously toward kleptocratic behavior. And let me be clear: the United States is not, and must never become, a kleptocracy. Congress cannot look the other way. Not for one more day. Not for one more headline. Not for one more dollar that even might be flowing into private pockets from public influence. Every moment of delay tells the world that America is willing to tolerate corruption from its highest office. Every unanswered allegation chips away at our global credibility. Every uninvestigated conflict signals that our laws are optional for the powerful. If Congress refuses to act, then why should any other nation respect the standards we claim to stand for? I demand—along with millions of other Americans—that Congress launch full, transparent, bipartisan investigations into all potential ethical violations, conflicts of interest, and alleged financial misconduct associated with President Trump, his family, and key allies. Subpoena records. Demand testimony. Follow every lead. Shine every light you have. Your duty is not to the president. Your duty is not to political convenience. Your duty is to the Constitution and to the American people. If Congress fails to confront even the appearance of corruption at the top of our government, then you jeopardize not only our institutions, but the moral and democratic foundation on which this nation stands. Do your job. Investigate—now.
