Enough Is Enough: Congress Must Act on Trump’s Corruption

I am writing as a constituent who is outraged—and frankly exhausted—by your continued failure to confront the open, brazen corruption of President Donald Trump. In just his first year back in office, credible reporting indicates that Trump and his associated entities have personally profited on a staggering scale while he exercises the powers of the presidency. The most recent revelations involving foreign-backed cryptocurrency deals tied to the Trump family are not “gray areas”, not “optics problems,” and not "politics as usual". They are a direct assault on the idea that public office is a public trust. The Constitution’s Emoluments Clauses were written for exactly this scenario: a president enriching himself through financial entanglements with foreign powers while shaping U.S. policy. If those provisions mean nothing in the face of billions of dollars in personal gain, then the Constitution itself is being treated as a decorative document rather than binding law. What makes this worse is not just Trump’s conduct—it is Congress’s paralysis. Oversight has been replaced with silence. Accountability has been replaced with excuses. The legislative branch is allowing the presidency to become a vehicle for personal enrichment in full view of the public. Let me be clear: History will not remember who stayed quiet to preserve their careers. It will remember who had the courage to act when corruption was undeniable. I am demanding that you: - Support and pursue full, public investigations into Trump’s foreign financial entanglements. - Enforce the Emoluments Clauses as the Constitution requires, not as political convenience allows. - Take meaningful action, including impeachment proceedings, if the evidence continues to show abuse of office and betrayal of the public trust. This is not about party. It is about whether the United States is a nation governed by law or by impunity. Congress does not get to shrug while the presidency is openly monetized. I expect to know where you stand—and what you intend to do.
