I am writing to express my profound disgust regarding the ongoing "negotiations" between the Department of Justice and the President’s legal team concerning the $10 billion tax leak lawsuit. As your constituent, I am formally requesting that you take immediate action to prevent what appears to be a historic plundering of taxpayer funds.
The recent elevation of Todd Blanche to Acting Attorney General is the final step in creating a DOJ that is fundamentally incapable of defending the taxpayer. Given that the department’s leadership—and the staff beneath them—have been selected specifically for their personal loyalty to the President, this is no longer an adversarial legal proceeding. It is a case of structural collusion. Even if Mr. Blanche were to recuse himself, he would be deferring to a hand-picked team that has already demonstrated a refusal to raise standard legal defenses, such as the Statute of Limitations. This is a "friendly suit" designed to facilitate a massive transfer of public wealth into private hands under the guise of a settlement.
I urge you to address the following critical points:
- The Statute of Limitations: Why has the DOJ failed to raise the Statute of Limitations defense? The two-year window for a 2020 leak has long expired. Failure to raise this defense is a deliberate act of legal malpractice by the DOJ to ensure the lawsuit succeeds.
- The "Flynn Precedent": The recent $1.25 million settlement awarded to Michael Flynn—despite the government having already won that case—serves as a dangerous test case for this $10 billion payout. We cannot allow the DOJ to continue rewarding the President’s allies with taxpayer money under the guise of settling meritless claims.
- The 90-Day Freeze: Per the filing on April 17, 2026, the DOJ and the President’s lawyers have requested a 90-day pause to "resolve the issues." This is the window for Congressional intervention. Once a settlement is finalized, the damage to the Treasury will be irreversible.
Specifically, I am asking you to:
1. Co-sponsor and support the Stop Presidential Embezzlement Act to tax any such settlement at 100%.
2. Demand that the DOJ immediately raise the Statute of Limitations defense in the Miami proceedings.
3. Join the House Judiciary Committee’s call for an independent auditor to oversee all DOJ actions involving the President’s personal financial interests.
4. Join Senator Ron Wyden’s probe into why the Treasury Department abruptly canceled all contracts with Booz Allen Hamilton in January.
The public is watching this moment closely, hoping this will be the one that triggers "have you no decency, sir." With the 2026 midterms approaching, I look forward to seeing whether you choose to protect the integrity of our institutions or stand by while the public trust is auctioned off.
